Insurance

Having health insurance is important given the complexity of the surgeries and the potential need for staged reconstructions and surgical revisions. 

Prior to scheduling a consultation, we require all new patient forms, photo ID, as well as a copy of the front and back of your insurance card. If you have received the COVID-19 vaccine, please send us a copy of the vaccination card as well. Below are the insurance companies we are currently in-network with. Before your appointment we will verify your insurance in and out of network benefits. We will review any out of pocket costs (copays, deductibles, co-insurance) due at the time of your consultation.

Phone/Video Consultations: We understand it can be challenging to travel to our office for a consultation. MoZaic Care does offer phone or video consults. Please be advised there may be times when the surgeon requests an in-person visit due to your medical history. We will verify your benefits to see if telemedicine is a covered benefit under your plan. If so, we will bill your insurance accordingly otherwise you will be considered self-pay. Please see our "fees" page for the pricing. 

For any HMO, Managed Medi-cal, and Narrow Network/EPO Plans, we may be able to see you with a prior-authorization from your referring physician or Primary Care doctor for your initial consultation. Our office will give you the necessary information to give your physician's office in order to request authorization. Once you are established with our office, we typically can request any needed follow-up authorizations from your insurance. 

**PATIENTS ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR NOTIFYING OUR OFFICE OF ANY CHANGES TO THEIR HEALTH INSURANCE. IN THE EVENT WE ARE NOT NOTIFIED, PATIENTS MAY BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DENIED CHARGES.

PLEASE BE ADVISED THAT IF YOU SWITCH TO AN INSURANCE WE DO NOT ACCEPT IN THE MIDDLE OF YOUR CARE, YOU WILL BE CONSIDERED SELF-PAY FOR ALL SERVICES. PLEASE CALL OUR OFFICE IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS.**
