Billing and Insurance

As a result of your surgery, your insurance company(ies) will be billed by three providers:

1. Your Surgeon – for your surgical and post-operative care.

2. Cataract and Laser Center Central, LLC – for the facility, nursing care, and medical supplies used during your surgery.

3. The Anesthesia Group – (Medical Circle of America) for the anesthesia services and staff.

The services provided at the Cataract and Laser Center Central, LLC are the same as those normally provided in a hospital. These services are referred to as a ‘Facility Fee’. It is important to note that these fees are not included in the surgeon fees (enhanced packages, premium lenses or laser assisted cataract surgery) or the anesthesiology charges.

Prior to surgery you should check with your insurance company regarding your deductible, copays, and/or coinsurance. Insurance plans vary, it is best to call your company directly to get the most accurate and updated information.

After we receive payments from all your insurance carriers, our billing department will send you a statement if you owe us any portion of the billed amount.
