Financial Arrangements

• Insurance information is required before surgery. All deductibles and co-pays will be the responsibility of the patient, based on their personal insurance plan.

• Prior to your surgery date, we will call you to verify your insurance coverage and discuss payment of deductibles and co-pays.

• Anesthesia, lab, radiology (if applicable) and your physician’s fee, will be billed separately by the group covering your case. West Coast Surgical Center accepts Cash, Checks, Visa, MasterCard, American Express and Discover.

Billing & Insurance

Thank you for choosing West Coast Surgical Center of Oxnard for your surgery. We strive to make your experience a pleasant and efficient one. With that in mind, we like to inform all of our patients of their financial obligations prior to surgery, so there are no surprises and/or misunderstandings.

West Coast Surgical Center collects any co-payments, unmet deductibles, and co-insurance amounts on the day of surgery. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to call our office at (805) 643-3332. Please note that co-insurance amounts collected are an estimate; your total financial obligation will be determined by your insurance company and will appear on the explanation of benefits. If our estimated amount is less, we will bill you the difference. If our estimated amount is more, we will refund you the difference.

We encourage you to also contact your surgeon, anesthesia group and your insurance company if you have any questions about your financial obligations. In addition, please make sure your authorization/pre-certification for your surgery is on file prior to the surgery.
