Physician charges represent the specialized services that your physicians will provide.

Initial Deposit for Evaluation

If you are paying for your own care, you will be asked to pay an initial deposit to be evaluatedat Nova Global Healthcare. This deposit is determined by the care center based on the type of medical treatment for which you are being seen. This deposit represents the average charge for evaluation by your physician, as well as the diagnostic tests that are normally performed
in order to make a diagnosis and develop a treatment plan. The deposit is an estimate only. Actual charges may be higher or lower based on your specific needs.Nova Global Healthcare deposit amounts include charges for both hospital and physician services. Please speak to your International Patient Assistant if you need clarification. Our intent is to make sure you are aware of what the total estimated cost of your evaluation may be in advance.

family, so we are available to help answer your financial questions.
