Medical Records and Patient Confidentiality

Orthopedics International values your business and respects your rights to privacy. Each employee and service provider has signed a confidentiality agreement to protect our patients. 

Private information you will need to provide

You will be asked to give private information including your name, address, date of birth and Social Security number. We will verify insurance information at each visit. Many insurance companies are moving away from using your Social Security number on your insurance cards to help prevent identity theft. However, we will still request this information since it is required for billing purposes. 

HIPAA

Orthopedics International follows all current HIPAA regulations to assure that your private medical information remains confidential.
