Patient History Form

Patient History forms are used to help your doctor understand more about you and your health history. An accurate view of your health helps your doctor to diagnose and treat your ailments. If prescription drugs need to be prescribed, your health history and current medication list helps your doctor to choose a medication that is appropriate for you. You can come prepared by providing some background information about you, your family and medical history in this printable form: Patient History (pdf)

Insurance Information

Insurance Card: Please have this with you so we can copy all of the necessary information from it. This will make the billing process easier for all of us. If your insurance should change, please notify the office at your next visit.

Co-Pays: Have your payment ready when you check in at the front desk. This is a contractual obligation with your insurance company for which you are responsible and it is mandatory that we collect it from you.

Referrals: As a member of an HMO, it is mandatory that you get a referral from your Primary Care Physician to see a specialist and have x-rays. The Insurance Company Will Not Pay for The Visit Without a Referral. Please call your primary care physician in advance to ask for a referral. If possible, try to get a referral for multiple visits so you do not have to repeat this process every time you come to the office. If a referral has not been obtained and the claim is denied, you will be responsible for payment in full.

Insurance Benefits: It is your responsibility to verify benefits, know your deductible amounts, and confirm that the doctor is a member of your plan.

If Surgery is Necessary: Please check with your insurance company to understand what costs you may encounter. Take into considerations that there will be hospital costs as well.
