The Southeastern Spine Institute


The Southeastern Spine Institute is the largest spinal medicine practice in South Carolina.

Medical practices have changed dramatically in the past 50 years. If you’re reading this on a computer or another electronic device, you’re likely too young to remember the family doctor making house calls. You probably have never seen an actual doctor offer you a cigarette or wear one of those weird mirrors on his head.

Today, most people with health insurance have a Primary Care Physician (PCP) who delivers front-line care, including general check-ups, blood tests, and most prescription medications. But if you need to find out why you have pain in your hip, you have to go to an orthopedic doctor. And if you have a urinary tract infection, you must see a urologist.

A World of Specialists

To visit any of these specialists and have your insurance companies cover the visit and any subsequent treatment, you often need a referral from your PCP. You see specialists in spinal medicine in the same manner. Your doctor agrees you need to see a specialist and recommends someone or gives you a choice of several.

It’s usually up to you to make sure the specialist you choose or your PCP chooses is covered by your medical insurance. You’ve heard of “in-network coverage” and “out of network charges.” This is an example of why it matters. If you choose a specialist out of your network, you may pay more, but you choose him anyway because you want the best care.
