Kapi'olani Orthopedic Associates
A division of Kapi‘olani Medical Specialists
Orthopedics conditions in childhood may follow illness, injury or a developmental
condition and result in deformity, pain and disability in the growing child or later
in adulthood. We recognize that children and adolescents have unique orthopedic
health needs. They are best served by doctors specially trained to care for them.
Young adults with pain or disability due to residual childhood orthopedic conditions
will receive state of the art care with emphasis on joint preservation.
We believe that children, teens and young adults have special orthopedic health
needs-after all, they have a long life ahead of them. They need a doctor specially
trained to care for them. We treat babies, children, teens and young adults with
a wide variety of orthopedic problems. Caring for our patients is our number one
priority.

We accept most insurance plans and we will be happy to file claims for you. Please
bring your child’s insurance card to each visit. We ask that you pay your estimated
share of charges at the time of your child’s visit. If your insurance company pays
more than expected, you will be credited or refunded the balance. If your company
pays less than expected, you will be responsible for the balance due. We accept
checks, cash, VISA, MasterCard, Discover and AMEX. There is a service fee for checks
returned for insufficient funds. Your child’s health is important to us. In the
event of financial difficulty, we will work with you to arrange a payment plan so
your child can continue to receive the care needed.
If your child is a member of and HMO insurance plan (health maintenance organization),
authorization for visits is usually required. Please bring your child’s insurance
card with you, and either have your child’s primary care physician fax a referral
form to us, or bring the referral form with you.
