NOTICE TO ALL PATIENTS—PLEASE READ
Please Present Your Insurance Card Upon Every Visit
Due to constantly changing insurance companies, we ask that you present your insurance
card upon every office visit. This will prevent any cause for delay in processing your insurance claim.
Co-Payment
Your insurance now requires us to ask and collect your
insurance co-pay before services are rendered.
Refills
Please make sure that you ask for and receive all refills on any medication that you may
need to last until your next doctors appointment during today’s visit. We will no longer call in
any refills on medication. If refills are needed an office visit will be required.
Medications
For your safety, you must bring all medications to each visit. or your appointment may be rescheduled.
Prior Authorizations
All prior authorizations on medication will need to be
approved as medically necessary by Dave Ringer, M.D., FAAFP.
No-Show Policy
We ask that you notify us at least 24 hours prior for any appointment cancellation,
or as soon as possible. Patients that do not show for their appointment will be
charged a $25.00 self-pay fee. We will not be able to reschedule your appointment
until the No-Show charge is paid.
Medical Records
Medical Records are performed by Discovery Health Services, a private Medical Record Company.
