Dr. Richard Cunningham and the team at Vail-Summit Orthopaedics & Neurosurgery (VSON) are dedicated to providing every patient with compassionate, world-class orthopedic care. Their mission is to help patients return to the activities they love as quickly and safely as possible.
The VSON billing and insurance team is available to assist patients in navigating the financial aspects of their care and to answer any related questions.
Important Note: Because insurance plan contracts change frequently, patients are encouraged to verify VSON’s participation with their insurance company by providing Tax ID 68-0501385, or by contacting the VSON business department at (866) 358-0202.
Patients with HMO insurance must obtain a referral from their HMO provider prior to their visit, as this is required for scheduling and care.
