Does Medicare cover GAE?

GAE is covered by many insurance plans, including Medicare. Coverage varies by insurer and individual policy, and our team verifies benefits and authorization requirements before scheduling.

Do I need prior authorization for GAE?

Some plans require it. Our team handles the authorization process for you as part of scheduling.

What does GAE cost out of pocket?

It depends on your plan deductible, copay, and coinsurance. We verify your coverage and walk you through your expected cost before you commit.

What if my insurance denies coverage for GAE?

Denials are usually about missing documentation, such as records of conservative treatment. Our team works through that with you. Ask us during your consultation and we will explain your options.

Is the GAE consultation free?

Yes. Your first consultation at Integrated Pain Specialists is free, and it includes the evaluation that determines both whether GAE is right for your knee and what your coverage looks like.
