Hi, My sister has been receiving Synovial fluid injections in her knees from a specialist for the last 6 months. Her insurance decided that they will no longer pay the higher fees charged by the Dr. to do this. They will, however, pay for the Prescription and she will have to just pay a modest fee for the Dr. Visit to inject it. That is fine with her, but her doctor refuses to do it that way. She doesn t want to be getting the shots from an non-specialist in the field. Any suggestions. She is in Denver, CO. I am sorry, I didn t realize this is only a paid site. I cannot afford the answer
Hi, Yes,such injections need to be given by a specialist orthopedic doctor and not by general physicians as these are costly injections and need to be given meticulously. Thank you.
