- RadiologyWhen you get services from an in-network hospital or ambulatory surgical center, certain providers there may be out-of-network. In these cases, the most those providers may bill you is your plan’s in-network cost-sharing amount. This applies to emergency medicine, anesthesia, pathology, radiology, laboratory, neonatology, assistant surgeon, hospitalist, or intensives services. These providers can’t balance bill you and may not ask you to give up your protections not to be balance billed.

- ArthroscopyWhether caused by age, sports injury, trauma or illness, the pain from foot and ankle disorders can limit a person’s ability to be active. This pain can be eliminated or significantly reduced through arthroscopy, arthrodesis, cartilage repair, total ankle replacement, and other techniques.
- Minimally Invasive SurgeryOnce the SI joint is confirmed as the cause of your symptoms, treatment can begin. Some patients respond to physical therapy, use of oral medications, or injection therapy. These treatments are often performed repetitively, and frequently symptom improvement using these therapies is temporary. At this point, you and your surgeon may consider other options, including minimally invasive surgery.

- CornsCalluses are typically larger, can be an inch or more in diameter, and vary in shape, while corns tend to be smaller (usually about a quarter-inch to a half-inch in diameter), round, and well defined. Calluses normally develop on the soles of the feet under the heel or balls, on the palms of the hands, or on the knees. In contrast, corns often occur in non-weight-bearing parts of the skin – typically on the tops and sides of toes. Calluses are rarely painful, while corns can be painful when pressed.
