Referrals / Authorizations
Some health insurance plans require the patient to obtain an authorization or referral from their primary care provider before seeing a specialist. This is the patient’s responsibility. Please be sure to have this information with you or verify our office has received it prior to your appointment. If the referral/authorization has not been provided, your appointment will be rescheduled unless you elect to sign a waiver accepting financial responsibility for services rendered and not covered due to a lack of authorization/referral.
The XR is a new concept in knee replacement surgery. Traditional knee replacement designs did not allow for the preservation of the cruciate ligament (ACL), which in the normal knee is responsible for anterior/posterior stability. Without this knee ligament, traditional knee replacement designs have not been kinematically (how the knee functions) normal.
