If you are a new patient, please check in 20 minutes prior to your scheduled appointment. You will need to complete a variety of forms and present your insurance information. We will be happy to submit a claim to your insurance company on your behalf.
Cancellations and No Shows
If you are unable to keep your appointment, we require 24 hours notice of cancellation. To ensure availability of appointments to our patients, we have adopted a “no-show appointment” policy. If you miss three appointments, your physician may review your records to determine if you’ll continue to be seen at our clinic.
Financial Responsibility
You are responsible for all charges incurred for your medical care.
Non-Covered Services
You are responsible for services that are denied by Medicaid or other insurance as non-covered services.
Co-Pay
If you have insurance that requires a co-pay, the co-pay must be paid at check in. If you cannot pay the co-pay, your appointment will be rescheduled.
Prescription Refills
Call your pharmacy for refills. The pharmacy will fax us the request. Prescription refill authorizations will be processed Monday through Thursday, 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. ONLY. Allow 48-72 hours turnaround to get prescriptions refilled from your pharmacy.
Hospitals
We utilize area hospitals. Our primary hospitals are Wesley Medical Center and Via Christi-St. Francis, where our hospitalist teams care for our hospitalized patients. Your hospital admission will be determined by your personal preference and/or the requirements of your health insurance company.
