Patient Information
In order to better serve our patients, we have gathered all of the information you should know before an appointment. Additionally, we have included the forms and releases you may complete and return to us prior to your appointment.
Appointments
Our cardiologists work with your primary care provider to ensure that there is a continuum of care for your medical condition. In order to provide personalized, quality medical care, we must know as much as possible about your current and past medical history. You will be asked to complete patient registration forms prior to your visit.
Please arrive at least 15 minutes prior to your appointment to complete all necessary paperwork. Your provider will also spend time asking about your medical history. If you are taking medications, please bring them with you. Please bring any lab results received within the last month to your appointment. Your first visit will last approximately one hour.
Please fill out the Patient History Assessment Form ahead of time and fax back to our office at 269/683-5384. If you do not have access to a fax machine please mail back to our office one week before your scheduled appointment.
Insurance Processing
As a courtesy to our patients, we file primary and secondary insurance with insurance carriers. Whenever your insurance changes or you are issued a new insurance card by your employer or insurance carrier, we need to update the information in our records. Please call us with the information and bring the card to your next appointment so we can make a copy of it. This will help minimize any delays in processing your claims. If you have a question about your bill, call our Niles office at 269/687-1336.
Office Hours and Policies
Our office is open Monday through Thursday from 8am to 5pm and Friday from 8am to 4pm. If you need to reach a physician when the office is closed, call the office and our answering service will contact the physician on call.
