Insurance 101: What Does In-Network vs. Out-of-Network Mean?

✔ In-network = your provider has a contract with your insurance → usually lower costs for you.

⚠ Out-of-network = no contract → higher costs, higher deductibles, or possibly no coverage for non-emergency surgery.

Our surgeons are in-network with most major insurance carriers (BlueCross BlueShield, Cigna, United, Medicare, Medicaid)

Important:
Even if your surgeon is in-network, other providers involved in your care (like anesthesia) may be separate.

At ATX Robotic Surgery, our team works to verify your benefits and help you understand what to expect before your procedure.

INSURANCE EXPLAINED – PART 1: What Is a Deductible?

Planning for surgery includes understanding your insurance benefits.

A deductible is the amount you pay out of pocket for healthcare services before your insurance begins paying its share.

Because every plan is different, your specific deductible and coverage amounts may vary.

Our team at ATX Robotic Surgery will:
✔ Verify your benefits
✔ Help estimate your out-of-pocket costs
✔ Answer your billing questions before surgery

While insurance companies make the final coverage decisions, we’re here to help you navigate the process with clarity and support.

Stay tuned this week as we break down other common insurance terms that affect your surgical costs.
