Our State-of-the-Art Surgery Center

Transparency in Healthcare

The Agency for Healthcare Administration would like all Floridians to have easy access to meaningful cost quality information. Therefore, in accordance with Rule 59A-5.032, Florida Administrative Code, please find access to price transparency for surgical services and patient billing information below.

In addition, the facility is required to let you know that you may or may not pay less for the services at another facility or in another healthcare setting. However, the surgeon that scheduled your procedure at this facility will not be on the medical staff of other facilities or healthcare settings.

Surgical Center Payment Policies

New Vision Surgical Center participates with Medicare and most insurance plans.

Our office will pre-certify the planned procedure with the patient’s insurance carrier, provide a personalized estimate of charges, and go over the estimated out-of-pocket costs. The patient’s responsibility will be collected prior to or on the day of surgery unless other arrangements have been made.

Please note: the information provided by insurance companies during the pre-certification process is not always accurate. Patients may receive a statement showing a balance due after their insurance has paid their portion.

Patients and prospective patients will be given a personalized estimate of charges along with information regarding other health care providers who may bill separately. Services may be provided in this health care facility by other health care providers who may separately bill the patient and who may or may not participate with the same health insurers or health maintenance organizations as the facility.

Patients and prospective patients should contact each health care practitioner who will provide services at New Vision Surgical Center to determine the health insurance provider and health maintenance organizations with which the health care practitioner participates as a network provider or preferred provider. A personalized estimate should be requested along with billing practices.

Other providers who will bill separately if they provide you with health care services in this surgery center include a pathology provider and laboratory which will analyze tissue your physician may require to be sent to the laboratory to diagnose your condition.

Surgery and anesthesia at New Vision Surgical Center will be billed under New Vision Eye Center.
