Telehealth Services

At Long Island Orthopedic Surgery and Sports Medicine, your health and safety are our top priorities. We continue to monitor the COVID-19 outbreak and are taking all the necessary precautions to ensure everyone's safety.

In response to this, we have added a Telehealth service to our practice so we can continue to serve your medical needs during this time.

Our platform is HIPAA secure and your physician can conduct your exam in a safe, virtual environment. Please call us at (631) 360-2200 to schedule your Telehealth visit.

Payment

We participate with most insurance companies and our expert billing staff will submit the necessary information to your insurance carrier. Insurance carriers require all physicians to collect any deductible and co-insurance directly from the patient.


Good Faith Estimate

If you are uninsured, you have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical care will cost.

Under the law, health care providers need to give patients who don’t have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the bill for medical items and services.

  • You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency items or services. This includes related costs like medical tests, prescription drugs, equipment, and hospital fees.
  • Make sure your health care provider gives you a Good Faith Estimate in writing at least 1 business day before your medical service or item. You can also ask your health care provider, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule an item or service.
  • If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill.
  • Make sure to save a copy or picture of your Good Faith Estimate.

For questions or more information about your right to a Good Faith Estimate, visit www.cms.gov/nosurprises or call our office.
