Important note about your insurance benefits and how you can help us
Since insurance rules and regulations are different for each insurance company and benefit plan, your insurance company is the best source of up-to-date information. By familiarizing yourself with your insurance coverage, you can help us to make your visit to our office go smoothly.

Common insurance and payment questions and information

What insurance do you accept?
Since insurance rules and regulations are different for each insurance company and benefit plan, your insurance company is the best source of up-to-date information. By familiarizing yourself with your insurance coverage, you can help us to make your visit to our office go smoothly.

What if Lake Orthopaedics is not on my plan?
If we are not on your plan, you may still be able to see us, but you will need to understand your in-network and out-of-network benefits. Your insurance company can provide these details for you.

What if I don’t have insurance?
Patients who are not covered by health insurance will be required to pay for services as they are rendered. Payment arrangements can be made.

Forms of Payment
We accept cash, check, Master Card, Visa, American Express, and Discover.

Under-age Patients
If the patient is under 18 years, a parent/guardian must accompany the patient. If the parent/guardian cannot be present, a note of permission must be presented with the patient before they can be treated.
