We accept most major PPO insurance plans and Medicare. Our billing team is available to help verify your coverage, explain your benefits, and provide a clear estimate of any out-of-pocket expenses before your treatment.
Please note: We do not accept Medi-Cal. We are also not contracted with most HMO insurance plans. If you currently have an HMO policy, please be aware that we are unable to accommodate most HMO-related inquiries unless you have prior authorization from your medical group. We encourage patients to verify their coverage type before reaching out to ensure we can serve you efficiently.
At the Hernia Center of Southern California, we are hernia surgeons with over 30 years of experience and more than 20,000 successful surgeries. We prioritize each patient’s individual needs and utilize proprietary surgical techniques that test and strengthen every repair before the procedure is complete—ensuring it’s fixed right the first time.
If you suspect a patient might have a hernia, contact the Hernia Center immediately. We strive to accommodate patients within a 24-hour period. With over a dozen convenient locations across Los Angeles, Orange, San Bernardino, and Riverside Counties, patients are seen quickly and close to home.
During evaluation, we determine whether the hernia is work-related and assess liability—whether it falls to the employer or employee. Identifying non-work-related hernias early helps reduce misuse of workers’ compensation benefits. For work-related injuries, our reports (QME/AME) are delivered within 24 hours and fully defensible in court.
We offer complimentary services tailored to the needs of insurance companies and employers, including:
Our advanced surgical approach minimizes long-term costs by:
Patients benefit from a comprehensive experience—starting with education on lifting, posture, and movement to avoid reinjury. Our rehabilitation program begins the day after surgery and accelerates recovery. Most patients return to modified work within one week and full duties within two weeks.
We also offer unlimited follow-up visits—even past the standard coverage period—at no charge. This not only benefits the patient, but also minimizes future medical expenses for insurance carriers.
Our bottom line is patient satisfaction. At the Hernia Center of Southern California, we provide the safest, highest quality hernia care with compassion, speed, and exceptional outcomes.
