Get a second opinion
If you have questions about your orthopedic diagnosis or treatment plan, a second opinion can help you better understand your care options. Our orthopedic specialists can review your medical records, imaging and medical history to provide an additional perspective on your condition and recommended treatment.
Before your appointment, check with your insurance provider to find out if a second opinion is covered. We can also request your medical records and imaging from your doctor on your behalf so they can be shared with your care team before your visit.
Insurance coverage for surgery
Talk with your insurance provider about insurance coverage options for having an outpatient orthopedic surgery, such as total knee replacement. Orthopedic surgery may be covered by various insurance plans as well as Medicare. First, you need to be evaluated by an orthopedic surgeon.
Providers: Refer a patient
Referring your patients is simple and hassle-free. Send your patient’s medical records, and we'll take it from there — keeping you in the loop throughout the process while ensuring your patient gets the advanced care they need.
