KEEPING COSTS DOWN
Our physicians and office staff understand and empathize
with patient concerns about the cost of health care. Our
streamlined scheduling and admissions process provides
greater convenience for our patients. By creating an
efficient patient care process, we are able to control
costs by eliminating the expensive overhead of a hospital
setting.

At Riverside Endoscopy Center, we are in the lowest cost tier for many insurance plans. To obtain an estimated cost for your procedure, please call us at (651) 312-1505.

BILLING
As a Medicare certified outpatient endoscopy facility, most
insurers and managed care organizations cover our services.
We file with many primary and secondary insurers directly.
It is always a good idea to check with your insurance
provider prior to scheduling your procedure to insure that
the services you are to receive are covered and to confirm
any pre-approval or co-payment requirements. We accept
Visa, Mastercard and Discover and American Express; our
account representatives can discuss other payment options
prior to your procedure. (651) 312-1505 You may receive more than one billing statement including:
