Health Insurnace

Please provide us with our complete insurance information. If we participate with your insurance plan, we will submit your claim. If we do not participate with your insurance plan, as a courtesy, we will submit the claim on your behalf and you will continue to get a statement from Northeast Orthopaedics until payment is made.

Managed Care Plans

To accommodate the diversity of approaches to health insurance in today's managed care environment, we participate with a large number of managed care plans. The key to the smooth processing of your managed care claim is the Referral Form completed by your Primary Care Physician (PCP). To see us for an office visit, you must provide a Referral Form or be willing to sign a Statement of Personal Responsibility. If your plan requires a copay, this payment is expected at the time of service.

Worker's Compensation & NYS Fault Insurance

If you are injured through your employment or are involved in an automobile accident, we will file your Worker's Compensation or No Fault Insurance claim. You must bring the required information (our staff can assist you) to your appointment so that we may properly process this type of claim. You and your employer's cooperation will help insure timely submission of this claim.

Medicare

As a participating provider, we welcome Medicare patients and are pleased to submit your Medicare and any secondary insurance claim forms for you.

Our policy requires payment in full at the time of treatment. if you are not covered by an insurance plan with which we participate, please understand that you are ultimately responsible for payment.
