• Naples Day Surgery will accept the amount that Medicare allows for your approved procedure. Medicare will pay 80% of the allowed amount. The remaining 20% will be your responsibility and/or that of your secondary insurance company.
• If you do not have a secondary insurance company, you will be asked to pay your 20% portion at the time of your admission.
• You can expect your first statement from Naples Day Surgery 30 days after your secondary insurance carrier has been billed. If you do not have a secondary insurance carrier and /or you were not able to remit your portion at admission, your first statement will arrive shortly after your procedure date.
• It has been our experience that a procedure not paid by Medicare is also not paid by secondary carriers. In this instance, you may be responsible for a portion of the total fee.
