Alpine Orthopaedic & Spine, P.C. As Alpine Orthopaedic & Spines practice management partner, Athenahealth is honored to provide services that include, but are not limited to Billing & Collections. In a collaborative effort we have negotiated to make the following payers available to the valued patients of Alpine Orthopaedic & Spine: Accepted Insurances and Plans:
Shared Ministry Healthcare Programs
Rejection of Care By Insurance Companies
These measures are taken by companies to save money. While it is laudable to be economical with limited resources, there are substantial regulations and barriers to the implementation of healthcare that are adding unnecessary costs to the system. In an effort to obtain medical care for yourself, the most powerful thing that you can do is to advocate for yourself through the Washington state "Office of the Insurance Commissioner". Fortunately, there is a website that shows the address and the contacts that are available to advocate for yourself. We have advocated for patients on many occasions through this venue, however we have been informed that complaints directly from the patient are the most powerful mechanism to activate the insurance commissioner into action on your behalf, and hopefully, “the system”. They will require your insurance policy number, insurance group number, the rejection of care letter from the insurance company, clinical records from this office, any radiology reports that support your care, patience, and most importantly, persistence. Often, they have you scan these records into the system. You can also do this via mail too. The website for the Washington State Insurance Commissioner is: https://www.insurance.wa.gov/file-complaint-or-check-your-complaint-status Thank you for your attention to this matter.
