Practice & Office Policies
Please review our clinic guidelines to help us maintain a safe, efficient, and timely care environment.
After-Hours & Urgent Clinical Needs
If you are experiencing an immediate, life-threatening medical emergency, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room. For urgent clinical questions after hours, our answering service is available by calling our main clinic line.
Appointment Cancellation & No-Show Policy
We respect your time and ask that you respect ours. We require a minimum of 24 hours notice for any appointment cancellations or rescheduling requests.
- Failure to provide 24 hours notice will result in a standard $50 late cancellation fee.
- No-showing an appointment without notice will result in a $75 fee.
- Repeated cancellations or missed visits (3 or more) may result in discharge from our medical practice.
Note: These fees are not covered by health insurance and must be paid out-of-pocket prior to scheduling your next visit.
Prescription Refill Protocols
To ensure patient safety and proper medication monitoring, all routine prescription refill requests must follow these guidelines:
- Please allow 48 to 72 business hours for processing. Refills are not processed on weekends or holidays.
- We do not refill controlled substances or pain medications after hours or over weekends.
- Patients must remain compliant with scheduled follow-up visits. If you have not been evaluated in our clinic within the last 3 to 6 months, a routine refill may be denied until an appointment is completed.
Financial & Co-Pay Responsibility
All specialist copayments, past balances, and estimated co-insurance percentages are due explicitly at check-in prior to seeing your provider.
- We accept cash, personal checks, major credit cards, and HSA/FSA account cards.
- If your check is returned for insufficient funds, a $35 processing fee will be added to your account balance.
- Unpaid balances older than 90 days may be forwarded to an external collection agency if regular payment arrangements are not established.
