Appointments
Please call the office to make an appointment in advance. If you are unable to keep your appointment, please call us as far in advance as possible so we may use that time to see another patient in need of care. We make a sincere effort to adhere to our appointment schedule and appreciate your patience if we are late due to emergencies or hospital surgery.
Fees & Payments
We make every effort to decrease the cost of your medical care. Therefore, we request payment arrangements for all office services at the time they are rendered unless prior arrangements have been made. We accept cash, checks, MasterCard, Visa, American Express, and Discover for your convenience. If we are a participating provider of your insurance company, we will bill them. However, all copayments are the patient's responsibility. We will help in any way we can to assist you in handling claims.
Prescriptions & Renewals
Please request all prescriptions and authorizations during our regular office hours, when our full records are available. Renewals requested at other times will be filled only for extreme or emergent circumstances.

Does Utah Orthopaedics Take Insurance?
Yes, we take most major insurance plans, including Medicaid, Medicare, employee-sponsored health insurance, COBRA, and student health plans. However, it is important to note that you should contact your insurance provider to see if they cover your condition. Only some insurance policies cover the same problems, so it is best to check if your policy can pay for the cost. If your insurance does not cover the cost, we will work with you to find the best solution.
What Can I Expect From an Appointment With Utah Orthopaedics?
Before your appointment, it is important to compile the most relevant information. This information includes your medical history, the medicine you are taking, and the problems you are experiencing. This information is important for the doctor to know so they can determine the best way to treat your condition.
Once it is time for your appointment, the doctor will go over your file and ask what the problem is. During this time, you need to tell them about any underlying conditions you have and the medication you are taking.
