Payment Information

Wed, 17 Feb 2010 21:09:00 GMT

Payment is due in full at the time of the visit for all services, unless the patient is enrolled in a managed care plan in which KSF Orthopaedic Center participates. All co-payments and co-insurance information are collected from managed care patients at the time of their visit. Patients may pay for services provided with cash, check, Visa, Master Card, Discover or American Express.

Please review the Managed Care Plans List to see if KSF Orthopaedic Center participates in your plan.

It is best to call your insurance carrier before making an appointment to verify that the doctor you want to see is still enrolled in your plan as a provider, as our doctors may participate in different plans. Some of our physicians are currently in the credentialing process to add more plans, but it is always best to verify your eligibility ahead of time to avoid any inconvenience.

Please check with our financial counselor at 281-440-6960, before you schedule surgery to make payment arrangements. This allows our staff to verify your insurance and make sure your provider will cover the prescribed procedure.

Surgical Patients

After you have scheduled surgery with one of our surgery scheduling coordinators, surgical patients may meet with one of our Financial Counselors to discuss the most convenient way to pay for their procedure. Our counselors are experienced professionals who will review your insurance coverage to show you exactly what costs your plan will cover, and what you will be responsible for. We find that completing all necessary financial arrangements prior to surgery gives our patients peace of mind and relieves them of any undue worries regarding their surgical expenses.

If you have any additional questions or concerns, please feel free to call our office at 281-440-6960.
