- Primary CareAn increasing number of managed care plans require that you first obtain an insurance referral from your primary care physician (PCP) before being permitted to visit with us. These insurance referrals may take seven (7) days, or more, to obtain. Specialists who diagnose or treat managed care patients without prior referrals may not be reimbursed by the insurance plan for their services and risk being excluded from seeing plan patients at all. Patients who see specialists without insurance referrals risk being 100% responsible for the costs.

- RadiologyWhen you get services from an in-network hospital or ambulatory surgical center, certain providers there may be out-of-network. In these cases, the most those providers may bill you is your plan’s in-network cost-sharing amount. This applies to emergency medicine, anesthesia, pathology, radiology, laboratory, neonatology, assistant surgeon, hospitalist, or intensivist services. These providers can’t balance bill you and may not ask you to give up your protections not to be balance billed. If you get other services at these in-network facilities, out-of-network providers can’t balance bill you, unless you give written consent and give up your protections.

- ArthroscopyProcedure: Arthroscopy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure used to examine and possibly repair some knee injuries. A tiny video camera is used during the procedure to pinpoint conditions, such as diseased or injured tissue and shows the surgeon where to trim damaged tissue or removed bone fragments. The surgeon will make two small incisions, one for inserting the arthroscope (camera) to view inside the knee and the other for inserting surgical equipment to make repairs. Consequently, there is little scarring, blood loss, and shorter recuperation time.
- Pinched Nerve
- Minimally Invasive SurgeryOur highly experienced doctors are leaders in extremity and pelvis fracture reconstruction, deformity correction, and bone transplantation. These physicians utilize many leading-edge techniques including minimally invasive surgery and advanced external fixation. The latest in bone graft substitutes and bone-forming proteins are often used to assist in the reconstruction of bones that have not healed.Â
- Ankle SurgeryIf your physician ordered a “Functional Sports Assessment†or “Sports Assessment,†we need to determine which assessment you will need. You’ll find specifics for each assessment below. If you are an athlete whose surgery was related to a throwing motion (Tommy John, labral repair, little leaguer’s shoulder or elbow, etc), you’ll want to choose our Throwing Assessment if you’re throwing at a high intensity. If you are returning to running only – recreational running, 5k to marathon training, or cross country, you’ll want to do our Running Assessment. If you are returning to a sport after hip, knee, or ankle surgery, you’ll want to do a plyometric prep screen if you are just starting to jump in therapy. If you are closer to returning to sport and are comfortable running, jumping, and cutting, you’ll want to do a Lower Body Assessment.Â

- Knee ReplacementRobotic hip and knee replacement:  Robotic technology assists our surgeons in sizing, placement, and positioning of your implant. Using real-time data, our team can make adjustments during your surgery which means your implant is inserted more accurately.
- Knee ArthroscopyArthroscopy is an outpatient procedure, which means the patient goes home the same day. Physical therapy is often prescribed to help strengthen the muscles around the joint during the recovery process. As much as six months of physical therapy may be required after knee arthroscopy.
- Reconstructive SurgeryProcedure: In order to avoid collateral damage, including meniscus tears and degenerative joint disease in the future, reconstructive surgery should typically be performed. This also provides stability and function in the knee. The price of the procedure reflects MOR knee surgeons using an autograft (the patient's own tissue usually from the knee cap tendon or the hamstring) for the repair. Should MOR knee surgeons require the use of an allograft (from a cadaver) ligament, additional fees will apply. These will be disclosed to you upon scheduling the procedure.
