Why Do Patients Prefer Antietam UroSurgical Center Over a Hospital
Several reasons. First off, it's a friendlier environment. Since all of our
procedures are done on an outpatient basis, you don't have faceless corridors,
unanswered call buttons, or hospital food to contend with. Most of our procedures
take less than an hour, with just another hour required in recovery. Afterwards,
you'll go home to the comfort and familiarity of your own surroundings.
We've Taken the Pain Out of Billing
Unlike other treatment centers, Antietam Urosurgical Center does not require
you to pay in advance of services. We're happy to handle the billing of your insurance
company.(In the event that an anaesthesiologist attends your procedure, you may receive
a separate bill for those services.)
For patients who are members of an HMO, IPA or other managed care provider, we ask that
you tell us up front so that we can ensure proper authorization.
Occasionally these health care companies require us to use a particular laboratory's services.
If this is the case with your insurer, we simply need to know beforehand.
More Questions? Just ask!
We hope that this information, along with the procedure fact sheet you'll be given by your physician,
will answer all your questions. It's important that you feel comfortable and informed about the treatment
or procedure you're about to experience, so if you're still uncertain about anything feel free to call the
Center's staff and ask away. 301-733-0022
To us peace of mind is a giant step toward good health.
