How and when
should we make payment?
DEPOSIT: Your deposit will be
paid at the time of making your appointment and can be made online with
credit card, via email, or regular mail. For more details
please see the deposit page.
ADDITIONAL FEES: Any pre-determined additional fees must
be paid in advance.
BALANCE: The balance will be paid
in US dollars (cash only), directly to the hospital PRIOR to your surgery. We do
not - take credit cards at the hospital, make payment
plans, give discounts, nor are we able to accept or file American insurance
claims. You must be prepared to pay the full amount at the hospital, or
your surgery will be postponed.
In some cases we may be able
to accept full payment in advance. Please
email
us for details.
The only acceptable method of payment at the hospital is cash. Traveler's checks, cashier's checks, money orders are no longer be
accepted due to multiple acts of fraud committed against Dr. Perez by
women to get free reversals. Payment will also be made in advance
for the same reason, theft of funds by patients slipping away in the night
without paying.
FLEX PAY/EMPLOYEE MEDICAL ACCOUNTS - We
have been trying recently to work with some patients using Flex-Pay and
other medical account cards, however these do not work yet.
There have been issues with using the PayPal system we are
trying to work through it. You can however pay for your surgery out
of pocket and be
reimbursed by the FSA company without problems.
As
with any hospital, in any country, we cannot be responsible for items lost
or left in your room or unattended. All unnecessary valuables
(jewelry, electronics, etc) should be left at home. Do not leave cash or
valuables in your room or your vehicle anywhere during your travels, and
please be especially careful with your valuables at airports.
Insurance codes,
assistance with funding or reimbursement:
-
Flex Pay and other employer funded programs: If you are seeking a
reimbursement from your insurance carrier or a medical plan from your
employer, please bring your forms with you to be filled out while you are
at the hospital. Getting them after you leave could be a lengthy
process. Flex pay cards do not work. Flex pay will
reimburse but will not pay in advance. The cards will not work in
our system.
