A Notice to Our Valued Patients
During your visit in our ENT department, your physician may find it necessary to use endoscopes (special lighted instruments) as part of their evaluation. This will enable your physician to provide you with the most thorough examination of your sinuses and throat when needed. Although, this is fairly routine for our specialty, most insurance companies consider this a "surgery" or "in-office procedure" and it may be reflected as such on your billing statement or explantion of benefits. In addition, your physician may also require you to have an Audiogram, also known as a hearing test. Each of these services will result in an additional charge and therefore an additional financial responsibility for you. We want you to be informed of these services so there are no surprises or concerns after you leave our office.
