We encourage all patients to monitor the quantities of their medications and request refills during their office visits whenever possible.

If your physician is not available the day of your request, your refill may be held until he returns to the office. 

Every effort is made to collect your out-of-pocket expenses at the time of your visit. Occasionally, it may be necessary to send you an account statement for payment. You may visit either of our office locations to make payment in person or you may forward your personal check, money order, cashier's check or credit card payment via mail to:

Chesapeake Orthopaedic & Sports Medicine Center
Empire Medical Building
200 Hospital Drive, 2nd Floor
Glen Burnie, MD 21061

You can also pay online.

Please bring any test results, X-rays and relevant medical records to your first visit. Make sure to have your current insurance card (or insurance billing information in case of a worker's compensation or automobile accident injury), photo identification and form of payment available when you arrive.

All accounts are the responsibility of the patient regardless of insurance status and not all work-related injuries are "compensable" (paid by your employer's worker's compensation plan). Please contact your employer for the name, address and policy number or claim number of the worker's compensation plan that will be asked to cover your injury and submit this information to our office staff at the time your care begins. Please provide your health insurance information and all appropriate referrals and authorizations in the event that worker's compensation does not cover your treatment. If you have retained an attorney, please request that he/she forward written requests, with your signed authorization, for medical records and bills to our insurance and billing team. Please remember that your attorney is not responsible for payment of your medical bills. Work-related injuries that are found not compensable are the financial responsibility of the patient.

No. Most patients can be effectively treated with physical therapy and other non-operative modalities; other patients may require surgery.

Age is generally not a problem if you are in reasonably good health and have the desire to continue living a productive, active life. You should see your personal physician for an opinion about your general health and readiness for surgery. 

You will receive specific instructions from your physician and our office staff during your visits or at the time a surgical date has been established with the hospital. Hospital admitting and surgical department personnel will also guide you through the process. Please call our office if you have any questions.
