Orthopedic Urgent Care

Insurance benefits and patient responsibility amounts vary greatly. Genesis will NOT be billing with a “Place of Service” equivalent to Urgent Care or Emergency. If you have a copay differential for Emergency/Urgent Care/Physician Clinic, the copay assigned by your insurance will be equal to the “Physician Clinic” designation amount. This copay is normally lower than what is assigned for Emergency Room services. If your insurance has a different copay amount assigned for Primary Care and Specialist, the copay amount that will be assigned is likely the Specialist copay amount.

Also note, work-related injuries need to be pre-approved by the employer or insurance company prior to your arrival and prior to 4:30 p.m. in order to ensure that provided care is eligible for coverage. Patients with work-related injuries who come to Genesis without pre-approval or after 4:30 p.m. or on Saturday may be asked to self-pay for services rendered. A refund for self-pay services will be issued upon payment to Genesis Orthopedics & Sports Medicine from the worker’s compensation or insurance company.
