1. Services provided by the Orthopedic Institute, Core Orthopedics and Sioux Falls Specialty Hospital won’t be covered beginning Nov. 1. Avera employees were notified.
2. Sioux Falls-based Avera began employing its own orthopedic surgeons after Core Orthopedics sold its ASC to Sioux Falls Specialty Hospital, which is partially owned by Medical Facilities Corp.
