Whether you need a referral to see an orthopedic doctor depends on your insurance plan. Many health insurance providers require a referral from a primary care physician before you can see a specialist, while others may allow you to schedule an appointment directly. It's best to check your specific insurance policy or contact your insurance provider for clarification. If you're paying out-of-pocket, you can typically see an orthopedic doctor without a referral.
