Please be aware that you or your insurance company may be billed by (4) separate entities for your surgical procedure:

  1. The facility fee (SSCW)
  2. Your surgeon’s professional services
  3. Anesthesia services (if applicable)
  4. Pathology/laboratory services (if applicable)

Any deductible, copayment, or coinsurance are the responsibility of the patient and are payable no later than the day of surgery.  A member of our Business Office will contact you prior to your surgery to review your financial responsibility.

We accept cash, bank/cashier’s checks, and all major credit cards as a form of payment.  SSCW is also proud to offer Care Credit as a financial option to our patients.  Please contact our billing office for more information.

UNDERSTANDING YOUR INSURANCE

Since any out-of-pocket costs are determined by the details outlined by your insurance plan product, it’s important to understand the specifics, including what’s in-network and what you may be financially responsible for.

Surgical Specialty Center of Westchester is a participating provider in many health plan networks. Some plans use smaller networks for certain products they offer, so it’s important to check whether or not we participate in the specific plan you are covered by. 

Please call our Billing Department at (914) 777-8400 to confirm we accept your insurance plan.
