You will also need to bring a list of all medications you are currently taking, all medical insurance information (insurance card, etc.) and all medical records supplied to you by your physician.

When you call our office with medical problems you will initially speak with our triage nurses. You may be refered to one of our nurses. Our office does file insurance claims for you and we do accept assignment from Medicare and Medicaid. It is also very important that we know if pre-authorization is required by your insurance company. If you have any financial questions or concerns, please contact our billing office. If, at any time, you have concerns for which you cannot obtain a satisfactory solution, please feel free to speak with me directly. Again, we welcome you to our office.
