UPDATE:   All new patients will be sent a medical history evaluation to be reviewed by the doctors in advance.  You may request one by email prior to scheduling.  This form, along with ligation records (not mandatory) will be reviewed to help determine if additional fees may apply.  We will collect additional fees in advance, but, it is still the responsibility of the patient to have emergency funds to cover unexpected services or medications.  You should bring a minimum of $200 for emergency funds.


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, wire transfer or regular mail.   For more details please see the deposit page.

ADDITIONAL FEES:  Any pre-determined additional fees must be paid in advance - an invoice will automatically be sent to the patient approximately 1 week prior to surgery.   Refunds on additional fees are paid in full minus any PayPal charges or refunding fees that may apply.   

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, have 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. 

The only acceptable method of payment at the hospital is cash. Traveler's checks, cashier's checks, money orders are no longer accepted due to the high rate of fraud committed against Dr. Perez by patients to obtain free surgeries.  Payment is made in advance of surgery for this reason.   

FLEX PAY/EMPLOYEE MEDICAL ACCOUNTS - We have been trying to work with patients using Flex-Pay and other medical account cards, however these do not work on our system.   There have been issues with using the PayPal system - and no card has ever been used successfully.  However, you can pay for your surgery out of pocket and be reimbursed by the FSA company without problems.  We will provide any paperwork necessary upon request.

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 / insurance refunds: 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 with our card service.  Flex pay will reimburse you and may pay in advance but you need to discuss that with your provider.  We will attempt to provide any documentation you may need.

  • The diagnosis code (ICD-9) that insurance companies use for bilateral tubal occlusion is 628.2.

  • The procedure code (CPT) for tubal reanastomosis  is 58750.
