The Hospital bill is for
Anesthesia related medications and supplies. The Anesthesiologist’s
bill is completely separate. The Anesthesiologist’s bill is for
his/her time spent with you before, during, and after your surgery.
A base charge for the actual surgical procedure is also included in
the Anesthesiologist’s bill.
You may see an additional charge
on the bill you receive from the Anesthesiologist if you are a high
risk patient, or if your surgery is an emergency case.

If you are thinking about having
surgery in the near future and would like an estimate on what the
Anesthesiologist’s charges will be, please call the billing office
during regular business hours.
