Billing & Insurance

We are committed to providing you with comprehensive orthopedic care and we want to make sure you are aware of our billing practices, including the insurances we accept and the insurance authorizations processes.

Cash is not accepted at any of the Puget Sound Orthopaedics locations.

  • Co-pays and other balances can be paid by card. We accept Visa, Master Card, Discover and American Express.
  • Co-payments are due at the time of service.
  • Patients are responsible for the charges associated with care even when insurance benefits are in place.

We encourage you to contact the PSO billing department directly with any questions at (206) 838-7782.
