Remember, contacting your insurance company to find out exactly what is covered through your benefits is entirely a patient’s responsibility.

​

Take time before your surgery, maybe even before your initial consultation visit, to contact your insurance company and get the details of what is and will be covered. Request information as to what clinics and surgeons are in-network, ensuring that insurance companies will cover more of the cost than out of network specialists.

​

You should also ask if insurance will cover surgeon fees, hospital costs, medical equipment, medication, physical therapy, or anything else that will be required during the surgery and after, throughout the recovery process. The more informed you are before surgery, the fewer surprises you will find on your medical bills after undergoing orthopedic surgery.
