Insurance

Understanding how your care will be covered should be simple. Our team handles the details for you: we verify your benefits, explain what to expect, and make sure you have real numbers before any procedure is scheduled.

How coverage works

Dr. Melamed's practice works with many major insurance plans, and also cares for out-of-network and self-pay patients. Because every plan and every case is different, the most reliable answer comes from a benefits check specific to you — which our team does before you commit to anything.

• ✓We verify your benefits before any procedure is scheduled
• ✓In-network, out-of-network, and self-pay patients are all welcome
• ✓You get a clear explanation of coverage and expected costs up front
• ✓Our team helps with authorizations and paperwork

Before your visit

To make your first visit efficient, have your insurance card and any recent imaging (MRI or CT) ready. If you'd like, you can upload your scan in advance for a personal review, so Dr. Melamed already has the picture before you arrive.

Out-of-state and traveling patients

A large share of Dr. Melamed's patients travel in from outside California. We coordinate remote MRI review, telehealth consultations, and the logistics of your visit so the trip is worth it — and so coverage questions are answered before you ever board a plane.
