Appointment

Please arrive 15 minutes prior to appointment to complete any necessary insurance paperwork.

  • Please complete the new patient intake document to avoid delays in service.
  • Please bring drivers license or legal photo ID.
  • Please bring insurance card.
  • Please bring referral if needed. It is advised that you call your insurance company ahead of time to see if a referral is needed.
  • If your insurance does not require a referral, please bring a note from your referring doctor stating the reason for consultation.
  • Please bring all pertinent medical records.

Workman’s Comp/Disability
Our office does not see workman’s compensation or disability/accident cases. If a patient’s primary treatment goal is to certify for disability or legal purposes, we advise that you seek another physician.

Payment policy
Health insurance is a contract between you and your insurance company. Our billing company submits a claim to your health insurance for payment of services. Copayments and deductibles are the portion of services that is paid out of pocket. All deductibles and copayments are due at the time of service. These payments are based on the patient’s insurance policy and cannot be waived.

No Insurance
Patients without health insurance are rarely accepted. Fees must be agreed upon prior to service.

No show/ cancellation policy

  • Please let us know as soon as possible if you plan to cancel an appointment. We appreciate 24 hour notice so that another patient in need of an urgent appointment can be scheduled.
  • No show fees apply for patients who do not show or call within 24 hours of the scheduled appointment.
  • Patients who are more than 15 minutes late for their appointment may be asked to reschedule. Exceptions are made for emergencies.

Forms
Patients requiring paperwork/forms filled out may need to schedule an appointment to have the forms completed. Patients should have the necessary forms at the time of their visit. B.W. Arthritis & Rheumatology reserves the right to charge a fee for completing these forms.
