New Patients
Your First Visit
During your first visit, a detailed medical history will be obtained. You can greatly assist us by bringing a complete list of your current medications and the results of recent medical tests or studies. The doctor will ask you questions about any previous illnesses and medications. The answers you give may help to successfully treat your present medical condition. A physical examination, especially directed to the areas pertaining to the gastrointestinal tract, will be performed. The doctor will then discuss further diagnostic tests, such as laboratory studies, X-rays and endoscopic exams that may help diagnose your condition.
Insurance Guidelines
Payment for all office services is expected when service is provided. Our paid office bill may be used as a claim form, which you may forward to your insurance company for reimbursement under the terms of your policy.
We are participating providers with Medicare and several managed care insurance plans, and we follow the rules set forth by those plans. You are responsible for all deductibles and co-payments for your plan at the time of service.
