What measures do Orthopedic Surgery Specialists in Cedar Park, TX take to address patients' financial concerns or facilitate access to affordable healthcare services?
Your Orthopedic Surgery Specialist's office can provide information about financial assistance, which may be referred to as charity care. Some doctor's offices also offer payment plans that allow you to pay your bill over a certain period of time.
If you need to receive care at a hospital, you may qualify for financial assistance through that hospital. If you receive care at a non-profit hospital, you must be offered financial assistance if you cannot afford to pay. If you participate in a government program, such as Medicaid or Medicare, those programs' websites can offer guidance about coverage for the care you need.
Your hospital may also have a patient advocate on staff who can help guide you through your coverage or your financial assistance options. You can also find your own guide through the Patient Advocate Foundation.

If your Orthopedic Surgery Specialist does question your interest in a second opinion, it may be a sign that another Orthopedic Surgery Specialist may be a better fit for you.
