BILLING INFORMATION: When you provide your billing information upon admission to Alaska Regional Hospital or Geneva Woods Surgery center, this information is made available to your provider of care. You do not need to contact us with your billing information unless you suspect that the information is listed incorrectly or needs to be updated. Please notify us immediately if your address, telephone number or insurance information changes. Please be aware that you will receive two bills for anesthesia services: one from the hospital, for hospital-owned supplies, equipment and medication, and one from Denali Anesthesia, for the direct care and services provided by the anesthesiologist.

INSURANCE: Denali Anesthesia bills insurance as a courtesy. We generally bill you once your insurance has responded, unless the carrier takes an excessively long period of time to respond to the claim. Please keep in mind that insurance billing is a courtesy service we provide, and that the balance due is ultimately the responsibility of the patient (or legal guardian), and not the insurance company. If your insurance fails to pay within 60 days, you may receive a bill from us. In this case, we respectfully ask that you make payment on your account, and assist in collecting from the insurance company.

COSMETIC SURGERY PROCEDURES: Anesthesia provided for cosmetic procedures must be prepaid. Contact our office at (907) 258-2149 for more details.

PAYMENT POLICY: Once we issue a statement to you, we ask that payment be made in full immediately. We accept Visa and MasterCard for your convenience. Checks should be issued to "Denali Anesthesia". Payments can be sent to: P.O. Box 202149, Anchorage, Alaska 99520. Payment plan arrangements can be made by contacting our office if you are unable to pay your account in full. Please maintain a current address and telephone number with our office in order to avoid unnecessary collective actions.

ACCURACY OF YOUR BILL: All providers' charges are reviewed by a physician, who is a member of the Denali Anesthesia Board of Directors, prior to being sent to the billing office. We continue auditing our charges once received in the billing office. Denali Anesthesia makes all reasonable attempts to comply with pertinent Federal and State laws. If you have any questions about your charges, or suspect a potential error on your bill, please contact our office immediately.

24-HOUR COVERAGE: We schedule 24-hour in-house coverage for anesthesia care at Alaska Regional Hospital. This allows the most immediate availability possible.
