Billing Resources
At Lewis & Clark Outpatient Surgery, we’re committed to making the billing and insurance process as simple and transparent as possible. Our care team is here to answer questions, verify your coverage, and help you understand your financial responsibility before your procedure.
Insurance Verification
Our business office will verify your insurance coverage before your visit to ensure all information is current. Please bring your legal picture identification, your insurance card, and method of payment for any outstanding out-of-pocket expenses. If your insurance has recently changed, please allow extra time before your appointment to update your records.
As a courtesy, we file insurance claims on behalf of our patients. However, please note that you are ultimately responsible for all charges related to your procedure at Lewis & Clark Outpatient Surgery. Any questions or disputes regarding coverage should be addressed directly with your insurance company or employer.
You may receive separate bills from your surgeon, anesthesia provider, pathologist, or laboratory depending on the services provided during your procedure.
Financial Responsibility
Lewis & Clark maintains its own billing policies, separate from your surgeon’s office. Your procedure will be billed to your insurance plan; however, you are responsible for any in-network or out-of-network deductibles, co-pays, and co-insurance as determined by your insurance provider.
All co-pays and known balances are due on the day of service. Remaining balances are due within 90 days of service.
We accept cash, personal checks, Visa, MasterCard, Discover, and American Express. If you are unable to make full payment on the day of surgery, please contact our billing office to discuss payment plan options.
To reach our billing team, call (208) 646-5075.
Self pay patients
We accept cash, personal checks, Visa, MasterCard, Discover, and American Express. For special circumstances, payment plans for non-cosmetic procedures may be arranged upon approval from our business office.
Estimated Fees
Our staff will provide an estimate of your out-of-pocket costs prior to surgery based on the information available from your insurance provider. These estimates are not final and may vary depending on your physician’s operative report, procedure time, and other factors.
You will be notified of your estimated responsibility by phone or letter before your procedure. Please contact our business office at (208) 298-1050 if you would like to request an estimate of our facility fees.
Payment options
For your convenience, we accept cash, personal checks, Visa, MasterCard, Discover, and American Express. Unpaid balances over 90 days may be subject to collections.
Additional bills you may receive
Because several providers are involved in your surgical care, you may receive separate bills from:
Your Surgeon
Anesthesia Provider
Pathology or Laboratory Services
Each provider maintains independent billing and payment policies.
