We believe exceptional non-surgical orthopedic care shouldn't require insurance or an exceptional price tag. Below are our current cash-pay / self-pay rates — no hidden fees, no surprise billing.
Free Initial Consultation for EveryoneWith the one exception of PRP, every service on this page — every office visit and every other procedure listed below — is billed to your insurance and covered at $0 out-of-pocket cost to you if you have an accepted plan (Cigna, Anthem Blue Cross, Aetna, United Healthcare, or Medicare PPO). You should never be charged the self-pay prices below if you have applicable insurance.
The self-pay / cash-pay prices on this page apply only to patients without applicable insurance coverage, or who choose to pay directly instead of billing their plan. PRP is a regenerative treatment not covered by any insurance plan, so it is cash-pay for all patients.

Most patients with an accepted insurance plan pay $0 for everything on this page except PRP — the self-pay prices above only apply to patients without applicable coverage, or who choose to pay directly. A free consultation and a low-cost diagnostic ultrasound keep the front door to care open to everyone regardless of insurance status, and our self-pay procedure pricing is intentionally set below what many corporate clinics in Orange County charge, so patients paying out of pocket still have access to advanced, ultrasound-guided orthobiologic care.
Insurance is billed by default. With the exception of PRP, which is not covered by any insurance plan, every service listed on this page is eligible for insurance billing. If you have an accepted plan (Cigna, Anthem Blue Cross, Aetna, United Healthcare, or Medicare PPO), we bill your insurance and you owe $0 out of pocket for that service. The self-pay rates listed on this page apply only when you do not have applicable insurance coverage, or when you choose to pay directly instead of billing your plan.
Cash-pay / self-pay rates are separate from insurance billing. The self-pay prices above are separate from, and may differ from, our fee schedules for insurance-based billing, including PPO plans, Medicare PPO, workers’ compensation, and TRICARE. If you elect to pay a self-pay rate for a service instead of billing your insurance, OC Musculoskeletal Medical Center will not submit a claim to your insurance carrier for that service, and you agree to waive your right to submit a claim for reimbursement of that service yourself. Just let our staff know before your visit whether you'd like a service billed to insurance or paid for directly, and we'll confirm your eligibility and coverage.
Estimate only — not a guarantee of final cost. Prices shown are current as of September 2026 and are subject to change without notice. Your actual cost of care may vary depending on your specific diagnosis, treatment plan, and any additional services your physician recommends (for example, additional visits, imaging, or injections). We will discuss your individualized treatment plan and associated costs with you before any procedure.
Payment terms. Payment is due at the time of service unless other arrangements have been made in advance with our office. We accept major credit cards, debit cards, cash, and check.
No guarantee of outcome. This page is provided for general informational purposes only and does not constitute medical advice or a treatment recommendation. All treatment decisions are made on an individual basis following an evaluation by Dr. Salamatipour. As with any medical treatment, individual results vary and no specific outcome is guaranteed.
For additional detail on how we handle your information, see our Privacy Policy and Terms & Conditions. If you have questions about a price, your specific plan, or whether cash-pay is the right option for you, please contact our office — we're happy to help you understand your options before you commit to any treatment.
Call or email us and we'll walk you through your options — including whether your insurance is accepted or self-pay makes more sense for your situation.
