— COMMON QUESTIONS

Frequently Asked Questions

Questions from patients and referring providers about insurance and the referral process.

It depends on your insurance plan. Some plans — particularly HMOs — require a referral from your primary care physician before seeing a specialist. PPO plans typically do not require a referral. We recommend checking with your insurance carrier or calling our office to confirm what your plan requires.

The best way to confirm is to call our office directly at (702) 960-4150. Our team can verify your specific plan and benefits quickly. Insurance plans and covered services change over time, so we always recommend verifying before your first appointment.

Coverage varies significantly by plan, procedure, and diagnosis. Our team works with your insurance carrier to verify benefits and obtain prior authorizations for covered services before your treatment begins. We will communicate clearly with you about what is and is not covered.

Prior authorization is a requirement by some insurance plans to approve certain procedures before they are performed. Our team handles the prior authorization process on your behalf — you do not need to manage this yourself. We will notify you once authorization is obtained and schedule your procedure accordingly.

Please bring your insurance card, a valid government-issued photo ID, and any relevant medical records, imaging studies (X-ray, MRI, CT), and referral documents. Arriving a few minutes early to complete new patient paperwork is also helpful.

Yes, we accept both Medicare and Medicaid at all of our Nevada locations. Coverage for specific procedures may vary — we recommend calling our office to confirm coverage for the services you need.
