Most insurance plans will require you to have met certain criteria in order to qualify for an in office spinal procedure. Please note these requirements so that we may best work on obtaining insurance authorization.
If you do not meet insurance guidelines criteria or receive a denial from your insurance we do offer extremely reasonable out of pocket "self-pay" pricing.
Please inquire with the office for details.
Please note:
the following details in which are routinely required by insurance payors in order to proceed with ordering and requesting payor authorization for an in office spinal procedure:
1. Your plan may require imaging and/or physical therapy or a home exercise program within the past 6 months to 1 year. Please ensure the office has all of the available reports.
2. An in-office visit is required to have been performed within the past three months, or 90 days, to order any spinal procedures. Telemedicine appointments are not qualifying visits.
3. Post-procedure follow-up appointments (ideally 6-8 weeks) are now required to be performed in order to move forward with any future procedural orders and insurance authorization requests.
