We know that our patients have many questions about Covid-19. We’ve put together a list of some of our most frequently asked questions and their answers for your reference. We encourage you to speak directly with your provider if you have questions about whether or not vaccination is the right choice for you, and any concerns or questions you may have

Starting January 2022, St Luke’s has allowed us to resume scheduling surgeries and our surgery schedulers are contacting patients to get patients scheduled. Given it is a new year for health insurance, we will have to get the surgery a new prior authorization with your insurance company and also if it has been greater than 30 days for the pre-op visit, it is required by insurance and is best practice for the physician to have another pre-op visit to check on you and confirm that surgery is still the best plan for you. We have dedicated surgery schedulers. Please let us know if you have questions on the status of your surgery by calling our office at 208-888-0909.
