Board-Certified Surgeons Accepting Medicare in Phoenix AZ

Verifying your insurance coverage before an appointment is a crucial step to ensure a seamless healthcare experience, and we are dedicated to making this process as straightforward as possible for our patients. While we proudly accept a wide range of Medicare plans, coverage can vary depending on your specific plan type and the services required. To confirm that your particular Medicare plan is accepted at Phoenix Unified Surgeons, we encourage you to contact our patient billing and verification team directly. When you call, please have your Medicare ID card and any secondary insurance information ready. Our knowledgeable staff will guide you through the verification process and answer any questions you may have about your benefits and potential costs, helping to provide you with peace of mind before your scheduled procedure.

Alternatively, you can use the official Medicare website’s ‘Care Compare’ tool to verify a provider’s participation. Here are the steps:

Log in to Medicare.gov: Start by logging into your secure Medicare.gov account. If you do not have an account, you can create one.
Search for doctors: Navigate to the ‘Find & Compare Doctors, Hospitals, and Other Providers’ tool to search for physicians and specialists in your area.
Save our surgeons: You can add Phoenix Unified Surgeons to your personal list to easily keep track of all of your healthcare providers in one place.
Verify your selection: Once you have located our practice, you can review details about our participation and confirm that we are in-network for your specific plan.

Yes, Phoenix Unified Surgeons proudly accepts both Medicare Part A and Medicare Part B. These two parts are the cornerstones of what is often referred to as Original Medicare. Medicare Part A primarily covers inpatient hospital services, including costs associated with hospital stays, skilled nursing facility care, and hospice care. This is particularly relevant for major surgical procedures that require an overnight stay or extensive post-operative care within a hospital setting. Medicare Part B, on the other hand, covers medically necessary outpatient services and supplies, such as doctor’s office visits, preventative services, and outpatient surgery. Our billing team is highly experienced in handling claims for both Part A and Part B, ensuring that the necessary services are properly billed under the correct part of your plan.

Phoenix Unified Surgeons offers a comprehensive array of surgical services that are covered by Medicare Part A and Part B, provided the procedures are deemed medically necessary. Our board-certified surgeons specialize in a variety of fields, and the types of covered services typically include:

General Surgery: Including appendectomies, gallbladder removal, hernia repair, and other common procedures.
Vascular Surgery: Procedures for conditions affecting the circulatory system, such as aneurysm repair and treatment for peripheral artery disease.
Anal Pain Surgery: Specialized procedures to treat conditions causing chronic or severe anal pain, providing relief and improving quality of life.
Robotic and Minimally Invasive Surgery: Advanced surgical techniques using robotic assistance and minimally invasive methods.
Gastrointestinal Surgery: A range of procedures for conditions affecting the stomach, intestines, and other digestive organs.

Our office will work with you to verify that your specific procedure meets Medicare’s medical necessity guidelines for coverage.

Phoenix Unified Surgeons accepts many, but not all, Medicare Advantage plans. Medicare Advantage, or Medicare Part C, is an alternative to Original Medicare (Parts A and B) that is offered by private insurance companies. These plans often combine hospital, medical, and sometimes prescription drug coverage into one plan, but they can have different rules and network requirements. It is essential to confirm that Phoenix Unified Surgeons is within your specific plan’s network to ensure your services will be covered. To verify this, please check your plan’s provider directory or contact our billing department with the name of your Medicare Advantage plan. We are committed to helping you understand your coverage and navigating the complexities of your specific plan to minimize any unexpected out-of-pocket costs.
