Patient Resources
Through education and information, those of us at South Florida Orthopaedics are proud to offer additional resources that go beyond just seeing a doctor in the office. We believe that you, the patient, should have the opportunity to understand and be prepared for a variety of different treatment options, and to see what others are saying about their care.
In addition, you can find out about where our doctors may be speaking in the community or even arrange a meeting for your own club, organization or event. Would you like to know more? Click on a link below to get started on your way.

Insurance and Payment Information
South Florida Orthopaedics & Sports Medicine accepts most insurance plans. Please contact our scheduling department to verify our participation with your insurance policy.
Insurance benefits can be very complex, and some plans have very strict rules as to when they will pay for medical services. We are here to help you understand your medical benefits coverage. We will ask you to provide us with your current insurance information and present your current insurance card(s). This helps ensure that we correctly bill your insurance and that we both understand what your responsibilities for payment may be.
Additionally, some insurance plans require that we receive authorization for your office visit to South Florida Orthopaedics & Sports Medicine before your scheduled appointment. In some cases, we may need your help obtaining that prior authorization.
Depending upon your benefit coverage, some services may not be covered by your insurance plan. Payment for non-covered services will be your responsibility.
If you are being seen by us because of an accident (auto accident, workers’ compensation claim, etc), please tell the receptionist when you arrive for your scheduled appointment. We will need specific information about the event, including the date of injury/accident, the workers’ compensation/auto carrier name, address and claim number if applicable. This will allow us to file an accurate claim with the appropriate carrier. Our office will submit all necessary paperwork involving your claim. If the claim is denied, payment becomes your responsibility.
Thank you for helping us help you!
