For Orthopaedic and Sports Medicine Patients

Suffering from joint or muscle pain?

Our highly skilled nonsurgical orthopaedic experts will assess your back, neck, or joint pain. Once we confirm a diagnosis, we'll treat your symptoms with skilled care and a sense of urgency.

What to Expect During Your UPMC Orthopaedics or Sports Medicine Visit

Referrals, insurance, and copays

We accept physician referrals and self-referrals, as well as most insurance plans.

Our support staff will collect all insurance copays at the time of your visit. We also accept uninsured patients, but we may require a deposit at your first appointment.

What to bring with you

Our skilled support staff will provide you with all the information you need to help you make the most of your first visit. From scheduling to checkout, our goal is to make the process as convenient as possible.

To make sure your visit goes smoothly, we recommend that you bring the following documents:

• Insurance card.
• Photo ID.
• A list of treatments and medical history.
• Any imaging scan CDs (if the imaging studies were not done at a UPMC facility).
• A complete list of all medications that you are taking (including over-the-counter medications and supplements).
• Notes from your last few physician visits, if applicable.

Please contact your local office or provider if you have any questions about your upcoming visit.
