Office Policies

   

Appointments
Patients are seen by appointment only. Please give us at least 24 hours notice if you need to cancel your appointment. Arriving on time for your appointment will help the physician stay on schedule.

Emergencies
If you should need to see the physician for an emergency or urgent situation, please contact the office at 614.875.0444
During regular business hours, you will be directed to the nurse's
desk. Our nurse will speak to you and either direct you to come into the office, or to go to the hospital. There is always a physician on call for emergencies, day and night.

  After hours, our answering service will contact the physician on call. Please do not hesitate to contact the physician for an emergency situation. For any after hours calls that are not an emergency, or at least urgent in nature, the physician reserves the right to charge you for the service. Please keep in mind that the physician does not have access to your medical records. The on-call physician would not be able to give you your laboratory results, or refill routine medications. These calls need to be made during regular business hours.

Insurance
We will be happy to file the necessary claim form for your obstetrical, hospital and surgical .

  charges. For your office visits, we will provide a form for you to file with your insurance company. If we have a contract with your specific insurance company, we will be happy to file all insurance claims on your behalf. A list of insurance companies with which we have contracts is available.

Payment Policy
We expect payment at the time of service. For your convenience, we accept MasterCard and VISA. Our Patient Account manager can provide you with fees for obstetrical care and gynecological surgery. She is also available to discuss your account or arrange a payment schedule if necessary.
