Your Surgery Appointment

For Patients Scheduled for Surgery

Our Prior Authorization team is here to help guide you through the insurance approval process before your surgery. We work closely with your physician, insurance provider, and workers' compensation adjuster (when applicable) to ensure the necessary authorizations are in place prior to your procedure. If you have questions about your upcoming surgery, our coordinators are available to assist you.
