Services to patients of Medicare, Medicaid, Champus and many other insurers are non-billable. Most Carriers who adopt Medicare guidelines do not reimburse L.S.A.’s or C.S.A.’s.

Surgical assistants are compensated for their service regardless of the financial status of the patient. The percentage of such cases varies from one facility to another. Demographics, payer mix, number of operating rooms, man power requirements and case history, all factor into the fees we charge client institutions.

Surgical assistants are credentialed through an extensive process similar in many ways to that of physicians for credentialing purposes. These assistants are an integral part of the surgical team and provide their services to patients during surgical procedures, within the scope of their professional license and as instructed or delegated by the surgeon.
