Policies on Insurance, Billing, and Payments

We have trained staff to deal with your insurance and billing matters, whether it is private insurance, Medicare, industrial, PPO or other coverage.

We will bill your insurance for surgeon fees, doctor's services provided in the hospital and office charges if we participate with your insurance plan. At the time of your appointment, please be prepared to pay any co-payments, co-insurance charges or unmet deductibles as required by your insurance policy.

We ask for advance payment prior to surgery if you have inadequate or no insurance coverage. The fee for surgery will normally include your post operative office visits for a period of three months.

We request 72 hours for accurate completion of insurance forms for disability, etc. Allowing this time period will enable our medical staff to focus on the patient's immediate care needs at the time of their appointment.

Charges for Treatment

Our fees are based on our knowledge, skill and services provided and are considered those prevailing in this community for services of an orthopaedic surgeon. If you have any questions about our fees, please feel free to discuss them with our business office prior to your appointment. Having financial matters clear from the onset is preferable to encountering difficulties later.

Credit Policy

All charges are expected to be paid on date of service. For your convenience, we accept MasterCard and VISA.
