Change in our insurance networks at Hecker Sports Medicine

As of December 31, 2022, our in-network status with Medicare and Medicare Advantage Plans will end. On March 31, 2023, our in-network status with all other insurance companies will end. Although we will not be billing your insurance company, you can use your insurance for services such as labs and medications, just as you did in the past.

Unfortunately, insurance plans are changing and basing physician visits on time, not allowing more time with patients, but regrettably less. This change is forcing physicians to see more patients daily resulting in even shorter visits.

This decision has come as a result of our desire to put your care first. We want to give people the time that they need. Most of our patients have complex and chronic conditions. Prior to coming to see us, it is not uncommon for patients to have seen 2-3 doctors/specialists and still not have received the right treatment for their needs. Time gives us the ability to care for you better, diagnose you better, and treat you better, leading to better long-term positive outcomes.

Hecker Sports Medicine has always prided itself in the care and time we provide our patients. This change will allow us to provide an even higher level of service to support our patients. When Dr. Hecker started his practice eight years ago, his goal was to provide the highest level of care at the most affordable cost. This change will allow us to further accomplish this goal.

To be clear, we are still accepting all patients but will no longer be billing your insurance.
