Billing & Insurance

In general, fees charged in this office are reasonable and customary and are comparable with those charged in other orthopaedic practices in our region.

As a courtesy, we do submit insurance claims for our patients. It is important that you have your correct insurance information at the time of your appointment and to notify our staff if your insurance coverage changes anytime during your care at TOC. We participate with most insurance plans; however, it is the patient’s responsibility to ensure proper authorization and physician participation before making an appointment. We recommend patients read their policy book or call their insurance company to learn about the benefits and coverage of their policy.
