The surgical assistant is contacted by the surgeon and/or hospital. Once the procedure is complete, the billing department will call the surgeon’s office to verify CPT codes, Diagnosis codes, modifiers, the amount the surgeon billed and anything else related to the surgery. After reviewing the claim, the patient’s insurance company may determined that your patient is responsible for the amount in their statement. Patients will receive a bill from Surgikal Assistants, Inc. if the insurance company determined that you are responsible for the amount in their statement. Waivers for indigent patients are approved based on proof of financial hardship, but the routine waiver of co-payments and/or deductibles can constitute a violation of the federal anti-kickback statute (42 U.S.C.
