Not Sure If You're Covered?

Insurance plans and networks change frequently. The best way to confirm your specific coverage is to:

  1. Call our office at (203) 705-2376 — our team will verify your benefits before your visit

  2. Check your insurance card and call the member services number on the back, ask for "in-network orthopedic surgeons at HSS Stamford"

  3. Use your payor's online directory — search "Kahlenberg" under orthopedic surgery near ZIP code 06902

Please note: Insurance participation can change. We recommend calling our office to confirm current network status before scheduling.
