In adherence to the law, Pioneer Peak Orthopedic Surgery is listing our “undiscounted price.” These prices are taken directly from our fee schedule as of the publication date and are also reported to the Alaska Department of Health & Social Services. These prices may be higher than the amount actually paid for the services received depending on the individual’s circumstance (ie. Insurance Coverage, In-Network Contracts, Medicaid Coverage, Self Pay Arrangements, etc.).
You are entitled, upon request, to receive a good-faith estimate of reasonably anticipated charges for a given nonemergency service(s) prior to receiving those services and no later than 10 days following the receipt of your request. This estimate does not include facility fees or other charges incurred outside of the service rendered by a Pioneer Peak Orthopedic Surgery Provider. This estimate will be provided in the form of your choosing – Orally, Written, or Electronic. Pioneer Peak Orthopedic Surgery will always provide you with a good-faith estimate when/if a surgical procedure is proposed. For estimate accuracy, Pioneer Peak Orthopedic Surgery is unable to provide surgical estimates without completion of the physician’s surgical orders.
Please do not hesitate to ask any questions. Our billing office may be reached directly at (907) 707-1671.
We are in-network with Premera Blue Cross Blue Shield, Aetna, United, MODA, EBMS, CIGNA, VA, Tricare, and we accept Medicare, Medicaid, Workers Comp and all other insurances.
