Midtown Endoscopy & Surgical center is a state of the art ambulatory surgical center in Manhattan specializing in providing gastrointestinal endoscopy, gynecology and podiatry services. The fees charged for our services are referred to as “facility fees” and are intended to cover the cost of supplies, equipment and operating the facility, the equipment used during the procedure, the nursing and technical staff, and the cost of medical and other supplies required to ensure the highest quality of care and safety during your procedure. You will receive a separate bill from your gastroenterologist for their professional services, as well as the anesthesiologist who assists in your care. Should tissue samples or polyps be removed during your procedure and sent to the laboratory for any pathology services your insurance company will be billed directly. The facility, gastroenterologist, anesthesiologist and laboratory separate are distinct services.  I acknowledge that I have been made aware that certain physicians as well as anesthesiologists and laboratories that the practice utilizes may not participate in my health care plan. I understand that if I receive services from a non-participating physician, I may be financially responsible for certain out-of-pocket costs that my health care plan does not cover.

Payments received from your insurance company will be applied to your account however, insurance coverage varies widely among carriers and many plans have deductibles, co-payments and co-insurance components that are the responsibility of the patient. Some procedures and providers require authorization prior to the procedure. Patients are encouraged to contact the patient services representative at their insurance carriers to better understand their coverage. If you have any questions about the Facility health care plan participation or if I would like to request information about the estimated charges for services, please call our offices.
