Terms of Use

Last updated 11 August 2026.

Agreement

By using colombiaorthopedics.co you agree to these terms. If you don't agree, please don't use the site. The site is operated by Scout Theory LLC.

Not medical advice

This is the most important term on the page. Colombia Orthopedics is an information and coordination service. We are not a hospital, clinic, medical practice or licensed provider. Nothing here is medical advice, diagnosis or treatment, and no doctor-patient relationship is created by reading this site or contacting us. Always consult a qualified physician about your own condition, and never delay or disregard professional medical advice because of something you read here.

Not a quote

All prices, ranges, percentages, timelines and charts on this site are typical 2026 market observations compiled from published self-pay and package pricing. They are illustrative, not offers, and they are not binding on us or on any facility. Actual cost depends on your imaging, diagnosis, surgical plan, implant selection, comorbidities, length of stay and rehabilitation needs, and can only be set by the treating facility after a clinical review. Currency movements, facility policy changes and market conditions can move any figure shown.

No guarantee of outcome

Surgery carries risk everywhere in the world, including infection, thromboembolic events, implant failure, nerve injury, anesthesia complications, revision surgery and death. We do not guarantee any medical outcome, any facility's availability, any surgeon's schedule or any result whatsoever.

Independent facilities

Any hospital, clinic, surgeon or service referenced or introduced through this site is an independent third party. We do not employ, supervise, control or direct them, and we are not responsible or liable for the care they provide, their pricing, their policies or their conduct. Your treatment agreement is with them, not with us. Verify credentials in ReTHUS and confirm accreditation directly with the accrediting body before committing to care.

Compensation disclosure

We may receive a referral fee or commission from facilities when patients we introduce proceed with treatment, and some outbound links are affiliate links. This never changes what you pay.

Your responsibilities

You are responsible for the accuracy of the information you submit, for obtaining your own medical advice, for your travel documents, insurance and vaccinations, for arranging follow-up care at home, and for your own decisions.

Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Scout Theory LLC and its officers, employees and agents are not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, or any loss of profits, revenue, data or goodwill, arising from your use of this site or from any medical care you obtain. Our total aggregate liability for any claim relating to this site is limited to USD $100. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations, so parts of this may not apply to you.

Intellectual property

All content, design, charts and code on this site are owned by Scout Theory LLC and protected by copyright. You may not reproduce, republish or redistribute substantial portions without written permission. Brief quotation with attribution and a link is fine.

Third-party links

We link to external sites for your convenience. We don't control them and we're not responsible for their content, accuracy or practices.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Ohio, United States, without regard to conflict of law rules, and any dispute will be brought in the state or federal courts located there.

Changes

We may update these terms. Continued use of the site after changes means you accept them. Questions: andy@colombiamedical.co.
