Many orthopedic
conditions require the use of medications to control pain and inflammation.
If you have any questions regarding your medication, or if you need
a medication refilled, please feel free to call us during our regular
office hours.
NO
PRESCRIPTIONS WILL BE FILLED AT NIGHT OR ON WEEKENDS. To
ensure that you have your medication when you need it, YOU
MUST ALLOW 24 HOURS FOR MEDICATION REFILLS TO BE PHONED TO YOUR
PHARMACY (narcotic medications cannot be phoned in and
require an office visit.)
Please
have the telephone number of your pharmacy available when you call
for a refill.

By paying for
services at the time of your visit, you will help us to keep down
the cost of your medical care. Our fees are based on standard guidelines,
and include time spent in consultation, examination, and review
of your x-ray and lab studies.
We
would appreciate your prompt payment of any balances due.

We understand
that medical insurance can sometimes be intimidating and confusing
to the patient. Our staff will do their best to help you understand
the insurance process, and will be glad to answer any questions
that you might have. Some companies pay fixed allowances for certain
procedures, and others pay a percentage of the charge.
It
is your responsibility to pay any deductible amount, co-insurance,
or any other balance not paid by your insurance company.
If
your insurance carrier requires that you obtain a referral from
your primary care physician, it is your responsibility to provide
us with a valid referral number at the time of your visit. If no
referral number is available, you will be asked to sign a waiver
stating that you are aware of your financial responsibility for
our service if we do not receive your insurance referral from your
primary care physician.
Workers'
Compensation:
If you should sustain an injury at your workplace, we would be happy
to evaluate and treat your injury. You must provide our billing
department with the necessary forms from your employer and your
workers' compensation insurance carrier. If we do not receive the
information, you will be responsible for payment at your visit.

We are happy
to care for those injured in an accident. In the case of a motor
vehicle accident, patients must provide our billing department with
all motor vehicle insurance information as well as health insurance
information in advance of their appointment. This will permit our
billing department to secure confirmation that the motor vehicle
insurance company or your health insurance will cover patient's
medical expenses which were incurred as a result of the accident.
For
personal injury or slip and fall accidents, payment is due from
the patient on the day of the visit and is not contingent upon the
status or outcome of the liability case.
