Cirugía ortopédica

We urge you to become familiar with your insurance so that you understand its rules and coverage's and know whether your visits, x-ray, laboratory charges, and physical therapy will be covered.

It is important that you bring your child's insurance card with you to each appointment. Presentation of the insurance card will help reduce the likelihood of misbilling.

1. Verify with your insurance company that you need a referral. If you have an HMO plan, chances are that you need a referral from your physician for your visit. If you have a PPO plan, chances are that you will not need a referral, but you should always check with your insurance plan.
   
   Check with your insurance company before you begin the referral process to verify what is required
   
   
2. Speak with your pediatrician, referring MD, or nurse practitioner about the need for a referral and receive medical approval for that referral before you schedule the appointment.
   
   
3. When you make an appointment for your child with one of our specialists, be sure to ask for the specialists provider ID number for your specific insurance. At that time, please confirm that the specialist is a member of your health insurance network; otherwise you may be subject to "out of network" costs.
