Insurance & Billing

Information about facility billing, practitioner billing, insurance coverage, and estimates for care at AOSC.

How Billing Works

Facility and practitioner billing are separate

Your care may involve services provided by AOSC as well as services provided by independent health care practitioners.

  • Services may be provided at AOSC by the facility as well as by independent health care practitioners who may bill separately from AOSC.
  • These practitioners may not participate with the same health insurers or health maintenance organizations (HMOs) as AOSC.
  • Patients should contact the health care practitioner or practitioners anticipated to provide their services regarding a personalized estimate, that practitioner's billing practices, and whether the practitioner participates with the patient's insurer or HMO.
  • Patients should also contact their own insurer or HMO to confirm coverage and network participation before receiving services.
Uninsured & Self-Pay Patients

Good Faith Estimate

Under the federal No Surprises Act, patients who are uninsured or who choose not to use insurance have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate of expected charges before a scheduled procedure.

To request a Good Faith Estimate, contact the AOSC location where your procedure is scheduled.

Insurance Coverage

Confirm your individual coverage

Before your procedure

Insurance coverage and network participation can vary between the facility and the individual practitioners involved in your care.

Patients should contact their insurer or HMO directly to confirm coverage and network participation and should contact each anticipated health care practitioner regarding that practitioner's billing practices and participation status.
