Frequently Asked Questions
Savannah Vascular Surgery Center takes the health and well-being of our patients, medical staff, and everyone in the communities we serve very seriously. During Pre-Op and Post-Op only one visitor/family member per patient will be allowed at bedside. Other guests may wait in the waiting room.
Questions related to your surgery preparation or post operative should be directed to Savannah Vascular Surgery Center at (912) 629.7865. If your call is received over the weekend or after hours – our on-call service will contact the physician on call.
There are two important reasons for arriving early. First, physicians may occasionally be ahead of schedule, so it is important for the next patient to be available and prepared for their procedure. Second, each patient completes a nursing assessment and preparation process before the procedure begins. Allowing adequate time for this process helps ensure your care is thorough, efficient, and never rushed.
As with many healthcare facilities nationwide, patients are expected to pay any applicable co-insurance, copayments, and remaining deductible amounts at the time of their procedure. Collecting these balances at the time of service helps reduce administrative and collection costs, allowing the center to operate more efficiently and keep overall healthcare costs as low as possible. Because ambulatory surgery centers are typically reimbursed at lower rates than hospitals for the same procedures, maintaining efficient operations is essential to providing high-quality, cost-effective care.
Savannah Vascular Surgery Center, like other leading Ambulatory Surgery Centers (ASCs), is recognized for delivering efficient care, high-quality outcomes, and cost-effective services compared with traditional hospital settings. Outpatient vascular surgery is our specialty, and we have built a reputation for excellence through skilled care, advanced technology, and a patient-centered experience. Our goal is to exceed the expectations of every patient we serve.
Occasionally, a patient’s balance may increase after a procedure if the physician determines that additional work was required beyond what was initially anticipated at the time of registration and/or if implants or specialized supplies were used that were not known or accounted for prior to the procedure.
