Most patients come to
Orthopedics-Southeast Iowa Regional Medical Center because they were referred by another provider who felt their conditions
needed the attention of a specialist. A few other patients come as self-referrals.
Some health insurance companies require a referral by another physician.
You should check your policy to be sure.
