For Attorneys & Legal Referral Professionals
Orthopedic Referrals for Attorneys and Injured Clients
Atlanta Bone & Joint Specialists welcomes referrals of patients who need timely, high-quality orthopedic evaluation after an accident or injury. Our priority is making sure the patient receives appropriate assessment, imaging review, diagnosis, treatment and follow-up.
A Patient-Care Pathway for Attorney Referrals
Attorneys often need a dependable orthopedic practice that can evaluate an injured client, review available records and imaging, identify the orthopedic diagnosis and provide medically appropriate treatment. We focus on the patient’s recovery, function and long-term orthopedic needs.
The Patient Comes First
Our physicians make clinical decisions based on the patient’s history, examination, imaging and medical needs. Insurance status, claim status or legal representation does not change the physician’s diagnosis or treatment recommendations.
Accident-Related Orthopedic Injuries We Evaluate
Our group evaluates injuries involving bones, joints, tendons, ligaments, muscles and nerves, with access to conservative treatment and surgical evaluation when medically appropriate.

View Conditions TreatedInsurance and Access to Orthopedic Care
Our referral team works to identify the appropriate scheduling and coverage pathway while keeping the focus on obtaining the right orthopedic evaluation for the patient.
Health Insurance Accepted
Atlanta Bone & Joint Specialists accepts many major health insurance plans. Patients should provide all available insurance information when scheduling so coverage can be reviewed.
Individual Review
Accident-related referrals may involve different insurance and claim circumstances. Each referral is reviewed individually so our staff can explain the appropriate next step.
Care-Focused Decisions
Financial or legal circumstances do not determine the physician’s medical opinion. Diagnosis and treatment recommendations remain based on clinical findings and patient needs.
Important:
Acceptance of a referral, insurance coverage, payment arrangements and authorization requirements must be confirmed individually. Patients remain responsible for applicable deductibles, copayments, coinsurance and other obligations unless a different arrangement has been approved in writing.
