It's a thing, Mercy does this too. They want you to pay for what they estimate your insurance won't cover.

OP should contact Cox's Patient Assistance Program and check with their insurance company about what will be covered.

My wife just had surgery last month at mercy and we didn’t pay anything upfront. Is this very new or for only select surgeries?

A number of times I've had Mercy ask for money before a procedure, in the beginning I would pay, then I'd find that Medicare had paid in full but I never got a refund. Once I started telling them I wouldn't pay until I had a bill and notice from my insurance it's been ok and I've not been refused for any procedures.
