What are your hours?
We treat patients from 8:30 a.m.
through 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday, except for
holidays.
|
|
What are your appointment policies?
We try very hard to schedule your
appointment time within three days of your call. If
you have a fracture, we will work you in on the same
day. Please note that in our business, emergencies
may cause an unscheduled delay in your appointment
time. When this happens we do our best to notify
you and give you the opportunity to reschedule.
Patients under the age of 18 must be
accompanied by a parent or legal guardian.
If you need to cancel your
appointment for any reason, please let us know as
far in advance as possible. Your call will allow
another patient to receive care.

What if I have an emergency?
If you have a potentially
life-threatening emergency, dial 911! The
emergency room doctor will contact our doctor on
call to care for you. If you have an urgent concern
that you feel cannot wait for regular office hours,
call our office. We’ll call you back ASAP.

|
What insurance plans do you accept?
We are providers for a wide variety
of health insurance plans; we accept Medicare, Auto
Accident Insurance, Workers Compensation and a large
number of HMO and PPO Plans. If you would like to
ask about your specific plan, call our office.
We recommend that you contact the
customer service department of your health insurance
company. They will be happy to tell you if we are a
recognized provider with your insurance company as
well as the benefits you are entitled to under your
specific plan.

|
What are your billing and payment
policies?
As a courtesy, we will bill and
collect payment directly from your insurance company
when you assign your benefits to us. We will also
file your secondary insurance claim if your primary
coverage is through Medicare or an Automobile
policy.
We expect payment when services are
rendered. This includes, for example, your co-pay
and any remaining deductible. If you are not
insured, or if we are unable to verify your
benefits, we will ask for payment in full at the
time of service. If you are concerned about your
ability to make full payment on date of your
appointment, contact our office in advance and we
will try to work out a budget arrangement.

What do I do when I need a
prescription refilled?
Call our offices during regular
business hours and select the Prescription option
from our telephone menu. We check for messages
throughout the day and will process your request as
soon as possible.

What if I need Disability Forms or
Attorney Reports?
Contact our office and speak with our
medical records department. Once we have the
appropriate authorizations, we will fulfill your
request in a timely manner. There is a $20 fee for
completing disability forms.
