Confusion with gynecological issues often leave hernias undiagnosed I have come to discover a problem for women with inguinal hernias (IH).

It's not too late to review your healthcare needs and take full advantage of deductibles or available Flexible Spending Account (FSA) funds.

Remember – most insurance plans renew in January, so you may find it financially beneficial to have your surgery before the end of the year or in early 2022. And if you have an FSA, be sure to check your balance to know what should be spent before the end of the year when those funds will be forfeited.

Considering a surgery at Meridian Surgery Center? Every health plan is different. The staff at Meridian Surgery Center is here to help – we can assist you in review of your deductible status to help you make an informed financial decision as you consider the timing for your surgery.

Interesting article on the difficulty in getting accurate healthcare estimates...

At Meridian Surgery Center, our goal is to provide you with an up-front cost to your procedure that is as accurate as possible.

We work with a 3rd party interface between the insurance company and our office to give accurate estimates that include anesthesia, the surgeon's fee, and the surgery center fee. In fact, we've received a number of positive patient reviews which specifically mention the accuracy of the estimates given them prior to surgery.

Year-end deductibles can make a huge difference in a patient's out-of-pocket expense and for many families, this is a good time of year to get an elective surgery completed.

Patients are often told to be smart consumers and shop around for health care before they use it. But even when you do so, estimates from insurers, hospitals and doctors can be unreliable.
