Michigan Orthopaedic Surgeons

What Michigan Orthopaedic Surgeons does

Michigan Orthopaedic Surgeons, PLLC is a private, physician-owned orthopedic specialty practice headquartered in Southfield, Michigan, formed through a 2017 merger of multiple Michigan orthopedic groups and operating as Michigan's largest self-described comprehensive orthopaedic group. It employs 101-250 staff including over 50 fellowship-trained orthopedic surgeons and musculoskeletal specialists recruited from top institutions such as Harvard, Northwestern, Rush, Duke, and Mayo Clinic, with clinical coverage spanning ten to sixteen specialties including sports medicine, spine, hip, knee, shoulder, hand, foot and ankle, pediatrics, trauma, interventional pain medicine, nonsurgical orthopaedics, regenerative medicine, physical medicine and rehabilitation, and nutrition and lifestyle counseling.

The practice operates an integrated care delivery platform across 7+ Metro Detroit locations (Beverly Hills, Bingham Farms, Royal Oak, Southfield, Shelby Township, Troy, West Bloomfield) that bundles physician office visits, on-site MRI imaging, physical and occupational therapy (including hand therapy), durable medical equipment dispensing, the MIOrtho Surgery Center, and walk-in UrgentOrtho urgent-care clinics, supported by a telehealth option, athenahealth patient portal, and 24/7 Assort Health online scheduling. Surgical procedures span minimally invasive to total joint replacement and are performed across MIOrtho Surgery Center (Southfield), Corewell Health hospitals (Royal Oak, Taylor, Troy), Trinity Health Oakland, and UnaSource Surgery Center, with advanced techniques including robotic-assisted joint replacement, Superior Capsule Reconstruction, Intracept basivertebral nerve ablation, and Rigo Concept scoliosis therapy differentiating the clinical offering.

Revenue is generated through professional service fees billed to commercial insurance, Medicare, and Medicaid, plus patient co-pays, deductibles, and self-pay revenue, with ancillary technical fees captured from the owned ASC, MRI, PT/OT, and DME operations. A value-based bundled-payment arrangement with Humana for total joint replacement among Medicare Advantage members introduces risk-bearing economics distinct from the broader fee-for-service book. The practice is led by Paul Fortin, MD, as President, draws patient volume from physician referrals, community reputation, and digital marketing (including recurring physician appearances on FOX 2 Detroit, WXYZ Channel 7, and WWJ-AM), and maintains a Detroit Lions team-physician relationship that reinforces sports medicine brand equity.
