PATIENT BILLING & FEES

Horizon Anesthesia LLC offers you a simple payment structure.

Horizon Anesthesia requires a minimum deposit of $595.00 prior to the date of your procedure. This deposit will be collected by your physician/dentist office on our behalf and covers the cost of drugs, equipment and your Board Certified Anesthesiologist’s professional charge for the first hour of your care. We accept credit cards or cash.

On the day of your anesthetic you will be asked to pay (again by credit card or cash) $440.00/hour of additional anesthesia time above your initial 1-hour deposit. Your bill will be pro-rated in 15 minutes increments ($110.00 / 15 minutes). Your anesthetic time is defined as the point in time when the anesthetic has begun to be administered to the time of your transfer to the recovery area. Generally anesthesia time will be longer than the procedure time.

Example:

1 Hour 30 Minute Anesthetic = $595.00 (initial deposit prior to day of surgery) + $220.00 (30 minutes, charged on the day of the anesthetic) = $815.00 Total Charge

1 Hour 50 minute Anesthetic = $595.00 (initial deposit prior to day of surgery) + $440.00 (45+ minutes, charged on the day of the anesthetic) = $1035.00 Total Charge

Horizon Anesthesia LLC does not accept insurance or bill insurance carriers directly, nor do we accept Medicaid or Medicare. We are happy to assist patients in obtaining the maximum reimbursement allowed by their insurance carrier, if applicable. Horizon Anesthesia will mail an insurance reimbursement form to the patient or the patient’s family within 30 days of the anesthetic.. This form will describe the exact nature of the anesthetic we performed, the reasons for the services we provided, and the appropriate CPT code (billing code). This form is then submitted by you to the insurance carrier.

Please do not hesitate to call us to discuss any questions and/or concerns regarding your anesthesia bills and payment. Please discuss them directly with us at Horizon Anesthesia and not your physician/dentist office.
