North Florida Surgery Center Financial Assistance

The following is North Florida Surgery Center’s financial assistance and application process:

Payment Plan

Patients are expected to pay their estimated financial obligations on or before the day of the service. In the event a patient is unable to pay the estimated obligations, our facility may offer a short-term repayment plan after a minimum down payment is made. Please contact our billing office for further information.

Uninsured Discounts

Patients who do not have insurance or other third party payers may be eligible to receive an uninsured discount from the charges. Please contact our billing office for further information.

Charity Care Discount

Patients who have financial difficulties may request an estimate of charges for a needed procedure and assessment of their eligibility for financial assistance. If you request an evaluation for further assistance, you will be asked to provide a copy of Federal Income Tax Statement and current payroll stub. The National Poverty Level Sliding Scale will be reviewed to determine where the Patient’s income level falls. If you income meets or is below the gross income amount of the national poverty level, the appropriate write-off is made applicable to the procedure charge amount.

Collection Procedures

North Florida Surgery Center’s collection policy is: A statement of account will be sent every month for three months. After 90 days a final statement will be sent allowing 10 days to pay. If no payment is received after the 10 days have passed, the account may be sent to an agency for collection.
