Do you accept my insurance?

We are a preferred provider for most major insurance companies; however, it is ultimately your responsibility to contact your insurance carrier for confirmation prior to your appointment. We encourage all patients to verify their insurance participation in order to make an informed decision about their care.

Why do I have to pay a co-pay?

Under most insurance policies, a co-pay, which is set by the insurance company, is due at each visit, including follow-up visits. Orthopedic Associates does not determine co-pays. It is the patient's responsibility to pay his or her co-pay at the time of service.

What if I have questions about billing?

We will gladly assist you with any questions you have regarding your bill. Please call 1.800.824.9861 or 937.415.9166, Monday through Friday, 8am – 5pm. Ask for the Billing Department.

Why am I getting different bills from different providers?

Orthopedic Associates bills for the surgeon's part of a surgery. The hospital or surgery center bills separately for their services. In some cases, there also may be a separate charge from the anesthesiologist's service.

If you need assistance understanding your bill or would like to make payment arrangements, please call us at 1.800.824.9861 or 937.415.9166, Monday through Friday, 8am – 5pm.

Will you bill my primary and secondary insurance?

As a service to you, we will bill your primary and secondary insurance providers as long as we have your insurance information on file. After your primary insurance provider has paid its amount, your secondary insurance will be billed. In order to provide you reliable billing services, it is important that you notify us of changes in your insurance coverage.

Do you offer payment arrangements?

If you are unable to pay your balance in full, contact us immediately. One of our billing specialists can help you set up payment arrangements.

Why did insurance deny my claim?

Your insurance (including Medicare and Medicaid) may not pay for some of the supplies and services you receive. After the insurance company has processed your claim, we will bill you for noncovered services as well as for deductibles, co-pays or co-insurance payments you may owe as specified by your insurance company. If you have questions about what your insurance will pay, please contact your insurance company.
