For your convenience we accept Visa, MasterCard, Discover, American Express, cash, and personal checks
-
Should any payment be rejected, payment is due in full from the responsible party within 30 days.

Tri-State Surgery Center’s fee includes the facility fee and general supplies. Anesthesia, radiology, pathology, physician’s fees, and pre-testing fees are billed separately.
-
We verify insurance eligibility and determine the patient's financial responsibility. However, final financial responsibility of the patient is not determined until the claim is completely processed by the insurance carrier.
-
To assure there is a clear understanding, we strongly encourage that the patient contact their insurance company prior to the procedure regarding their financial obligation.
-
To the insurance company, emphasize that the procedure is being performed in an "outpatient/ambulatory surgery center" when discussing co-payments, coinsurances and/or deductibles to assure you receive accurate information.
-
The patient is fully responsible for paying any additional balance due for his/her services as promptly as possible after the claims are processed.
We want you to clearly understand any fees, insurance and billing policies. Contact our billing department if we can help. 724-225-8800 ext. 110.
