Surprise billing

---

In accordance with New York’s “Emergency Medical Services and Surprise Bills” law, Midtown Surgery Center (the “Center”) must provide certain information to patients including the names of all health plans in which the Center participates and all affiliated hospitals. This law is intended to provide consumer protections against “surprise” medical bills received from out-of-network physicians/facilities in order to reduce costs to patients. 

Prior to your surgery, the Midtown team will contact your insurance carrier to determine coverage. We encourage you to verify with your insurance plan as well to confirm network status at Midtown Surgery Center. If the center is not contracted with your insurance plan, then your claim will be billed at an out-of-network.

Our Patient Liaison will contact you to review benefits and outline potential financial responsibility for the facility.  If we do not participate with your plan, you may request that the center disclose in writing it's fees, for which you will be responsible. Such fee disclosure is an estimation only and is subject to unforeseen medical or other circumstances that may arise when the health care services are provided. 

Please contact us with any additional questions you may have.
