I just had a minor outpatient surgery at Mercy. On the online portal it made it seem like I had to pay prior to the surgery. But when I checked in for the surgery I said I wanted to wait until my insurance processed it so that I knew exactly what I was paying for, rather than just the general estimate given prior to the surgery. You can’t be required to pay upfront but they make it sound like you do. Hope this helps! Hoping for a smooth and quick recovery for you!
