What is the difference between a copay and coinsurance?
Panorama Orthopedics does not make determinations about copays or coinsurance.
- A copay is a fixed amount – or flat fee – a patient is responsible for paying with his or her own money (out of pocket) for certain services or medicines. Plans specify what this amount will be for a variety of health-related services, such as a doctor or specialist visit, emergency room visit or prescription medications. Copays are determined by health insurance plans and are often printed on health insurance cards. It is the patient’s responsibility to pay his or her copay at the time of service.
- Coinsurance is a percentage of costs a patient is responsible for paying with his or her own money (out of pocket). Plans specify what this percentage will be for a variety of health-related services, such as a specialist visit, emergency room visit or prescription medications. Because coinsurance is a percentage of total costs, it can be difficult to estimate and plan for in advance
What is my deductible?
The amount patients must pay annually with their own money (out of pocket) before a health plan will pay for any expenses. This amount does not include premiums. For example, if a deductible is $1,000, the health plan won’t pay anything until a patient pays $1,000 out of pocket. Deductibles vary by insurance company so you should consult your policy to determine your deductible amount.
Why am I getting different bills from different companies?
Panorama Orthopedics bills for the surgeon’s part of the surgery. This may also include a surgical assistant fee. There is a separate charge for the facility (hospital or surgery center) for their service during the surgery. In some cases, there may also be a separate charge for the anesthesiologist’s service during the surgery.
How does the payment plan work?
Panorama Orthopedics makes every attempt to assist patients with their financial needs. Our payment plans vary, but we normally will ask for a certain percentage prior to surgery or procedure, with monthly payments to be completed within 90 days of the date of service. Our financial counselor will review these costs prior to any scheduled procedures
Who do I talk to about my bill?
The business office can provide answers to almost all billing questions. For assistance with your insurance and billing questions, please contact us at 303-233-1223.

RECORDS RELEASE
Should I bring any previous tests or scans for my upcoming appointment?
Yes. If you have had any MRI’s, X-ray’s, CT scan’s, etc. for the body part you have made an appointment for, please bring them with you. If previous tests have been performed and are not present, your appointment may need to be rescheduled.
How do I get in touch with my medical team if I have more questions?
The most efficient way to contact your doctor and their medical assistant with medical questions is through our patient portal. If you are not currently set up with a patient portal account, your doctor will discuss this with you at the time of your visit. This form of communication is secure and much faster to receive the answers to your medical questions. To get set up with a patient portal account prior to your appointment please contact the office at 303-233-1223.
Can I see one doctor for multiple injuries or problems?
It is recommended that you schedule an appointment for the most severe problem first. Due to specialized training our doctors have received, they may refer you to one of their partners. Additionally, your insurance may require further documentation (referral) and if seen for multiple body parts may not be covered by your insurance.
What do I need to do to prepare for my appointment?
- Bring a photo I.D. and your insurance card. This will be collected by our front desk upon check in.
- Be aware of your copay amount that is required by your insurance. We are considered a specialist and this will be collected at the time of each visit. If you have questions about what your copay amount is, contact your insurance company. This number is usually located on the back of the card.
- If possible, bring additional family members or friends to your visit. A lot of information is covered and it is helpful to have additional support.
- Bring a list of all medications you are currently taking, including any over the counter vitamins and supplements.
- Make a list of questions to ask your doctor.
What is the best way to get a refill on my medication?
Requests for medication refills or changes in a medication can be made by calling your care team or messaging your care team through MyChart.
When you need to refill your prescription please leave your name, birthdate, your phone number, the pharmacy name and phone number. The name of the medication, dose and quantity. Prescriptions are completed the same day if called in before 3 PM. Monday through Friday. If you believe you will run out of your medication on the weekend call before you run out. There are no refills for pain medications after 5pm, on weekends or holidays.
Refills on narcotic pain medications require that a prescription be written and then picked up at one of our offices by the patient, family member, or friend. That person must be at least 18 years old, and bring with them a valid photo ID.
