Wow…another year has passed. Our country, communities, families and even our office went through many changes during 2022. Here at Physicians & Surgeons for Women we’ve had to adjust and adapt to many things, some great and some necessary. We were even blessed with new staff and two new nurse practitioners, Jennifer Lee and Ruth Xue (this was the great part).
The necessary part was updating some of our protocols so we could provide the best care and service possible to you, our patients. Below you will find important information that you need to know if you are a new or returning patient.
Every appointment, bring the following:
- Insurance Card
- Photo ID
- Updated medicine list or bottles for all medications, including over-the-counter supplements or drugs.
- Co-pay. If uncertain, contact your insurance company prior to your appointment.
New patients:
- All information noted above. Plus,
- Completed new patient forms found on the website.
- You will be receiving a call from our clinical staff to complete your New Patient Intake call. This call is to obtain your medical history and allows you to spend more time with the doctor or provider during your visit. Note, if this call is not completed, your appointment may be rescheduled or cancelled.
- Arrive 15 minutes prior to your appointment time.
OB patients:
- All information noted above. Plus,
- Complete the OB History Form and New OB Ultrasound Form, also found on the website.
Minor patients:
- Include the Minor Consent Form with all the information noted above.
- A parent or legal guardian must come to the first appointment or any other appointment that includes a procedure.
Medicare patients:
- If you are over 65 and/or are a Medicare recipient, include the ABN Medical Form with all information noted above.
Helpful Tips for All patients:
- If you are unable to keep an appointment, call at least 24 hours in advance to reschedule or cancel.
- Patients that do not show up for scheduled appointments, or reschedule multiple times, run the risk of being dismissed from the practice.
- Co-pays are due at every appointment.
- If you have surgery or are pregnant, payment arrangements are available. Our billing department will call you to discuss.
- FMLA and disability paperwork: As of 1/1/2023, the processing fee is $50, and must be paid before your paperwork is completed. Please allow 7-10 business days for paperwork to be returned to you or your employer.
If you have any questions or need to schedule an appointment, call our office at 937-323-7340. We can also be contacted on our website (www.physurg.net) or on our patient portal (myhealthrecord.com).
We look forward to caring for you through all stages of your life!
