If you have an orthopedic problem, an orthopedic surgeon can treat your injury and help you achieve optimal health. Ideally, your orthopedic surgeon should be both skilled and affordable. Below, we will take a look at how and where you can find an affordable orthopedic surgeon in Huntington Beach, CA.

Types of Orthopedic Surgery

There are two broad categories of orthopedic surgery: arthroscopic surgery and open joint surgery. During arthroscopic surgery, the physician makes small incisions near the joint, and inserts a camera to see the inside of the joint and tools to operate on it. Arthroscopic surgery is minimally invasive, and is associated with shorter downtime and lower risk of complications than open joint surgery, in which the physician creates a large incision to access the joint.

Cost of Orthopedic Surgeon 

The cost of orthopedic surgery varies from case to case, depending on the type of surgery necessary. Most arthroscopic surgeries cost less than open joint surgery, as they take less time to perform and do not usually require a hospital stay.

Your insurance should cover the cost of surgical treatment or any other treatment you need for your orthopedic injury. This means that the primary factor influencing your out-of-pocket costs is the terms of your insurance policy. If you have a high deductible that you have not met, your costs may be relatively high; if you have a low deductible and copay, and have already met your deductible, your costs may be lower. If you cannot manage the entire cost of surgery out-of-pocket, you can use patient financing to manage the cost.

Choosing a Surgeon

The quality of your orthopedic surgeon will make a big difference in how successful your treatment is. In addition, the surgeon should be dedicated to offering affordable treatment. As you research surgeons in your area, ask yourself the following questions:

• How long has the surgeon worked in the field?
• Does this surgeon have experience working with patients like me?
• Is this surgeon dedicated to using non-invasive and minimally invasive treatments whenever possible?
• Do past patients have positive things to say about the surgeon in their reviews?
• Does the surgeon accept my insurance plan?
• Does the surgeon take steps to make treatment as affordable as possible for patients?
