Understanding My Bill
Everything you need to know about your PAA billing statement
Providence Anesthesiology Associates is an independent practice that provides anesthesia services for many hospitals, surgery centers, and offices across North and South Carolina. As a result, the bill for your anesthesia services will be separate from your surgeon or facility charges.
In addition, please be aware that in some cases you may receive two anesthesia bills. Some insurance carriers require the Anesthesiologist and Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist (CRNA) charges to be on two separate bills. This doesn’t mean you’ve been charged twice or have a duplicate bill for anesthesia services, but rather that the total amount you’re required to pay has been divided in half and assigned to each member of your team equally.
You will receive your PAA billing statement at least 21 days before your minimum payment due date.
Billing statements consist of one or two pages containing information about what you’ve been charged, what payment you need to make, and the date by which your payment must be received to avoid penalties.
