Privacy/Confidentialilty
Cosmetic surgery is a personal matter. To provide you with the level of privacy you seek:
- Prior to the surgery date, all communication with the Surgery Center will be conducted through your surgeon's office only.
- You may call the surgery center at (315) 329-2500 between 8:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. to address any questions or concerns you may have.
- If your surgery requires an overnight stay, you will have a comfortable, private room complete with television, telephone and DVD.
- You can choose to have visitors between 8 a.m. and 8 p.m.
- No information will be given to callers regarding your condition without prior permission.
Financial Considerations
- Most aesthetic/cosmetic surgery isn’t covered by insurance, therefore, NESC has created a fee schedule that includes a total charge for your anticipated needs during your surgical stay. This fee is referred to as the facility fee. In addition, the surgeon and anesthesiologist will bill you separately.
- The inclusive facility fee is determined by the type and complexity of the procedure, the type of anesthesia and length of stay.
- The fee schedule for facility, surgeon and anesthesia will be provided to you by your surgeon during your initial consultation visit.
- We accept MasterCard, Visa, American Express, checks or cash. Payment is due prior to surgery.
