Billing

If you have insurance, all insurance claims for your surgery will be forwarded to your primary insurance company and then to your secondary insurance company, if applicable.

If you have no insurance then payment will be made directly to the Provider.

There will be three (3) bills or insurance claims generated for your surgery.

  1. Facility Fee from the Surgery Center
  2. Professional Fee from your Surgeon
  3. Anesthesia Fee from the Anesthesia Providers
If you have any questions regarding your bill or insurance claims please call the following numbers:
  1. Call Brenda at 315-451-6911 for the Surgery Center bill.
  2. Call your Surgeon’s office for the surgeon’s professional bill.
  3. Call 315-422-2933 at the billing office for Syracuse Anesthesia & Pain Management for your anesthesia bill.
