Central Ohio Surgical Associates is an independent private surgery practice. We remain IN-NETWORK with all major insurance companies, including Aetna, Anthem and Humana.

Local hospital system negotiations with these insurance networks will NOT impact your physician relationship with surgeons at Central Ohio Surgical Associates.

COSA surgeons have operative privileges at facilities that are not in contract negotiations with these major insurance carriers, and therefore can render care regardless of the negotiations.

Please feel free to contact our office at 614-864-6363 if you have any questions.
