Performance Orthopedics does not participate with private insurance plans (Blue Cross/Shield, Aetna, United Healthcare, Cigna, etc.).  This is known as being “out-of-network”.  Often, our non-participation in private insurance is incorrectly simplified as meaning, “Performance Orthopedics doesn’t take my insurance”.  What non-participation actually means is that our organization does not allow insurance companies to arbitrarily set coverage and payment for our services, and we do not necessarily accept their reimbursement as payment in full.  The majority of private insurance plans have out-of-network coverage and will make payment for services rendered by non-participating providers.  In fact, those plans typically charge additional premium for this out-of-network coverage (you are paying for this coverage; you should be able to use it).
