Patient Responsibility

  • Payment is required prior to your appointment time.  Please be prepared to pay your co-pay and deductible when you arrive at the office.  Our office accepts Cash, Check, Credit and Debit cards (Visa, Mastercard, and Discover)
  • Requesting refills of prescribed medications through their local or mail order pharmacies.  Our office has a 24-48 hour time frame to submit the refill to the pharmacy.  PLEASE request medication refills in advance.  There are many prescriptions that our nursing staff can submit with the physician’s authorization.  Going through your local pharmacy helps decrease our turn around time.
  • Calling to reschedule or cancel an appointment 24 hours in advance.  If unable to call in advance, please call as soon as possible so we can reschedule.  Multiple no-shows will result in dismissal from the clinic.
  • Request work and school excuses (all excuses are photocopied and scanned into the patient’s electronic medical record)
