First Visit
Your first appointment will allow us to gather vital information in treating your condition. Please bring your insurance card, previous x-rays, lab reports and medical records relevant to the visit, and a list of current prescriptions.

Hospital Admission
Should you require hospitalization, our staff will make the necessary arrangements. If your insurance company requires precertification or a second surgical opinion, please alert our staff to ensure that your insurance requirements are met. Each day a SUN Orthopaedic physician or physician assistan will monitor your hospitalization.

Insurance
We are participating physicians with Pennsylvania Blue Shield, Medicare, Medicaid, HealthAmerica, Keystone Health Plan Central, HealthAssurance, Geisinger Health Plan, Capital Blue Cross, and worker‘s compensation. You are responsible for any deductible, co-insurance or non-covered services. In order to reduce the rising costs of medical services, we require co-payments at the time of service. A universal claim form is submitted after each visit so your insurance company can process your claim.

Billing
Unless your insurance plan covers office visits, you will be requested to pay at the time of each visit. Patient accounts are billed monthly. We accept cash, personal checks, VISA and MasterCard.

If you do not have insurance or require special payment arrangements, please call our Patient Account Representative during office hours. We will work with you to arrange a personalized payment plan. Our billing office will help answer any questions you may have about coverage.
