each year i make our patients aware of their new medicare deductible and this year i would like to include a message to our spanish speaking patients as well,

how do i say:

Attention: Medicare patients
your 2007 annual deductible is $131
If your supplemental insurance does not cover this deductible or you do not have a supplemental insurance, please be prepared that this portion of your office services will be collected from you today

What confuses me is the word "office services". I would translate it like:

Atenci�n: Pacientes de Medicare
Sus deducciones por el a�o 2007 suman $131
Si su seguro suplementario no cubre estas deducciones o si usted no posee un seguro suplementario, por favor colabore ya que estas deducciones le ser�n cobradas a usted en el d�a de hoy.

thank you so much. so is this translation just without the phrase office services?

Yep, I turned "that this portion of your office services will be collected" into "these deductions will be collected".
I figured it doesn't really change the meaning that much. What do you think?
