Treatment Frequency
Many providers have expertise treating multiple conditions or procedures. FindCare uses a variety of data sources to determine which conditions or procedures a provider treats and their level of experience.
Treatment frequency is how often a provider performs or treats a specific procedure/condition compared to other doctors. It's important to understand a doctor’s treatment frequency to help make an informed decision on which provider you want to treat your condition or have to perform a specific procedure.
They may not have the expertise, experience, or desire in treating certain conditions or procedures, even if it falls within their specialty.
Health insurance providers might not cover a specific condition or procedure because it doesn't fall within their coverage plan. When determining what to cover, providers will use criteria of what they deem as "medically necessary."
A provider may accept your insurance carrier but may not be in-network with your specific plan. To confirm your coverage, contact your insurance carrier or the provider's office.
We know health insurance can be a tricky topic. So, we’ve broken down the most important aspects of health insurance by defining key terms and answering commonly asked questions.
Health insurance companies help by lowering the cost of general and specialty healthcare services. Additionally, they can act as a resource to help answer questions and guide you to a provider that meets your needs.
In-network means your insurance provider and Dr. Aurora D. Pryor, M.D. have a contractual agreement to provide healthcare services at a discounted rate, often called a negotiated rate, that you pay.
Example: You go to a doctor that’s in-network and the total charge is $250. A discount is applied to that amount for our negotiated rate with the doctor. The discount is $75. Your insurance pays $140. You’ll have to pay the remainder, which is $35.
If you’re looking for a specialist, keep in mind they may not accept your insurance if they and your insurance carrier were unable to negotiate discounted services. We recommend calling Dr. Aurora D. Pryor, M.D. office to confirm if they take your insurance.

How was your appointment with Dr. Aurora D. Pryor, M.D.?
Pros: She is by far the best surgeon in the area, and possibly high up there with the top gastrointestinal surgeons of the world. She can literally take your stomach, esophagus and intestines out, rearrange everything and put it back in working...

Board Certifications
What’s a board certification and why is it important that my provider has one?
A board certification represents a provider’s dedication to ongoing training in one or more specialties, including the completion of intensive exams. While not all specialties have board certifications, if your provider does have one they’ve taken the extra step to master their specialty and to keep up with the latest advancements in their field.
