USAP Patient Guide

Pediatric Procedures We understand that going through a surgical procedure can be unsettling for children and their families. We want to assure you that your child will be in experienced and caring hands. Our clinicians will provide thorough explanations and guidance, ensuring you have a clear understanding of what will occur before, during and after the procedure. To reduce anxiety and increase comfort, we will also share age-appropriate information with any child who wants to participate in the discussion.

ANESTHESIA BILLING Your anesthesia services are billed separately from other medical services. The facility bill may include anesthesia charges related to the equipment, drugs and other supplies used for your care. USAP’s anesthesia bill is for the professional services provided by expert anesthesia clinicians (Anesthesiologist, CRNA and/or CAA). FOR PROCEDURES COVERED BY INSURANCE Your insurance company will be billed for your anesthesia services, and we will make all reasonable efforts to obtain payment from your insurance company. Please provide complete demographic and insurance information to your referring physician and facility. We use this information to submit your insurance claim. You will be responsible for the payment of any deductibles, co-payments, denied or non-covered services. Regardless of the type of insurance coverage, patients are ultimately responsible for payment of their medical bills.
