Fee Schedule

This is the Advanced Knee Care, PC cash fee schedule. This was updated Janaury, 2012. Advanced Knee Care will accept a 3 installment payment plan on approved credit.

Medicare Patients

I want to continue to treat you for your knee problems. I enjoy caring for people that have Medicare coverage. I see and treat Medicare Beneficiaries in my office and at the hospital. Dr. Tarlow has opted out of Medicare effective 1/1/2011. He is NOT a participating physician with Medicare. Medicare has specific and strict rules regarding payments to Dr. Tarlow - He can NOT accept any payments from Medicare. There are no exceptions made by Medicare. Medicare will pay Dr. Tarlow ZERO dollars for his services. Supplemental, Secondary and Medicare Replacement Plans will pay Dr. Tarlow Zero dollars for his services. Medicare patients treated by Dr. Tarlow pay Advanced Knee Care directly at the time or prior to services being rendered. The cash fee schedule is the amount that you will pay directly to Dr. Tarlow for treatment rendered. If you are a Medicare Beneficiary and would like to be treated by Dr. Tarlow that would be wonderful - please call to schedule an appointment. All other services related to your care including hospital, anesthesia, assistant surgeon, physical therapy, outside Xray/MRI/CT scan and lab work IS covered by Medicare/Supplemental and paid for by Medicare/Supplemental at prevailing terms.
