What is T-BONES?

T-BONES is an informal group of orthopaedic practice administrators from around the state of Texas. Statewide meetings are held twice a year to discuss topics of interest to orthopaedic practices, such as Workers' Comp, claims payment, insurance regulations, etc. The primary benefit of participation in T-BONES is the unique opportunity to network with your peers.
While there are no official ties to the Bones Society, Inc., the national orthopaedic administrators organization, T-BONES is the result of a need to replicate the Bones Society on a more local level to address state and local issues that may impact orthopaedic practices.

Our Team

The Texas Orthopedic Administrators Society was founded by Michael Berkowitz, Administrator of KSF Orthopaedic Center, P.A. in Houston. Michael’s vision of the society has come to life with the continuous hard work and diligence from the T-BONES Board Members. Each year, the board assembles the organization's functions, including the crowd-favorite Spring and Fall annual meetings.
