Insurance and Payment Procedures

Payment is expected at the time of service. You may pay your bill with cash, personal check, or credit card.   For your convenience, we accept Visa, MasterCard, and Discover.

As a courtesy to our patients, we will file your primary and secondary insurance claims, but you must provide the appropriate insurance information. Any insurance copayment must be paid at the time of service.

Scheduling Appointments Due to the time-sensitive nature of cardiac care, we schedule patient appointments no more than one month in advance. After you see our cardiologist, if you need to schedule a follow up appointment, we will enter the month in which you need to return into our computer system. When it gets closer to the time for you to return for your office visit, our computer system prompts our schedulers to make your appointment. After your appointment is scheduled, they will mail you the date and time. To Summarize: You will be notified by mail approximately two weeks to one month before your return appointment is due. If you receive the appointment notice and cannot keep the appointment, kindly call our office to reschedule. If fasting lab tests are required, please try to come in two or three days before your appointment to have them done. For all other lab tests, please arrive 30 minutes before your appointment time. We know your time is valuable and we try to make your visit to our office as pleasant and efficient as possible. Occasionally we must change your appointment because of unforeseeable changes to your physician's schedule. We try to keep this to a minimum, and we will notify you as far in advance as possible. Similarly, if you are unable to keep your appointment, please let us know as soon as possible. We make every effort to accommodate all requests for specific physicians within our practice. However, there may be times when the physician requested is unavailable. At that time, you may see one of the other physicians in our group, or if you prefer, reschedule for the requested physician.
