Financial Information
Here is some important information regarding Fees & Insurance:
- At Augusta University Health (AU Health) we recognize the need for price transparency between the Surgery Center of Columbia County (SCCC) and you, our patient. Our fees reflect the specialized equipment and training for all staff to ensure you receive quality health care on every visit.
- If you are using insurance benefits for your services, please ensure you are knowledgeable about your plan’s co-payments, deductibles, and co-insurance for the services you will receive. Our Business Office staff, and Surgery Coordinators, will work with your insurance company to ensure authorization is obtained, along with current benefit information, to provide a good faith estimate of your expected financial obligation. The staff will contact you prior to your service to confirm demographic information, review your financial obligation, and collect a deposit.

- We accept Visa, MasterCard, American Express, as well as cashier’s check, personal check, and cash. All patient financial responsibility will need to be settled prior to service. If you cannot pay prior to service, then your service may be rescheduled.
- After service, we will file your claim with your insurance company. You will receive a statement when your insurance company has responded. If any additional amount is due, you will receive a bill, if your insurance company paid more than expected, or charges were less, you will receive a refund for any overpayment.
- Should you have any questions regarding your financial responsibility, please contact the SCCC at 706-854-3026.
