Financial Information
Information and Billing
We will verify your health insurance coverage(s) that may cover some or all of the services to be performed. South Florida Joint Replacement Center will initiate contact with them to determine your cost-sharing responsibilities. Prior to surgery, someone from the center will contact you with your estimated cost sharing out of pocket.
Upon request, a written estimate will be provided to you. This amount is due prior to or on the day of your surgery. Please remember to bring a form of payment with you. We accept cash, checks, and major credit cards.
For payment plans, financial assistance plans, or charity care discounts please call the billing office to see if you qualify: 954-904-0723.
After surgery, South Florida Joint Replacement Center will submit your bill to your insurance company. Any additional financial responsibilities, above what was given as the estimate, will be the balance billed to the patient.
South Florida Joint Replacement Center's standard collection policy is to produce and send two statements to patients for their cost sharing amount. If payment is not received within 90 days of date of service, the balance will be turned over to collections.
NOTE: You will receive a separate bill from your doctor, anesthesiologist and/or pathologist.

Out-of-Network
A patient receiving treatment at our facility who presents an insurance with which we are considered out-of-network may be eligible to receive an adjustment to their assigned out-of-network patient liability. This is, assuming our facility is not prohibited from offering out-of-network adjustments under state/ Federal laws or your insurance company's provisions.
If not prohibited, the application of any out-of-network discount is subject to vary based on a patient's benefit coverage. Accounts which become delinquent may have the adjustment disallowed.
FloridaHealthfinder.gov
The Agency for Health Care Administration maintains an interactive, searchable pricing website to provide data on health care costs for national, state and county prices.
Information regarding bundle services and procedures is available. The pricing provides a non-personalized estimate of cost that may be incurred by the patient for anticipated services.
Please do not hesitate to contact our business office with any concerns or questions regarding your coinsurance and/or payment options. You may also contact our billing office to review our Financial Assistance Policy.
