What to bring to your appointment?

If you are a first time patient, please plan on arriving early in order to complete a Patient Registration Form, if you have not already done so. Also, please bring the following items to the appointment:

• Insurance card/cards

• Referral forms (if required)

• List of all prescriptions and over-the-counter medications that you are currently taking.

• Any required co-payment.

• Pertinent medical and surgical history information and other pertinent medical records if available.

• Office Fees

​

Payment is required for professional services at the time they are rendered. If you are covered by Medicare, a PPO (preferred Provider Organization) or an HMO (Health Maintenance Organization), copays and /or coinsurance payments are due at the time of service. Please read our financial policy carefully for further information.

Insurance Information

We are a participating Medicare Provider. We accept assignment of all Medicare benefits. As a courtesy, we will file your supplementary insurance. You may still be responsible for your Medicare deductible, dependent on the requirements of your supplementary policy.

Patients that are members of an HMO need to bring a referral from their primary care physician authorizing their office visit and/or testing. Patients who fail to do this cannot be seen. We will be happy to reschedule your appointment so that you can obtain the necessary authorization. Obtaining this authorization is your responsibility.

Please Note: Central Florida Rheumatology Consultants, LLC, participates in a variety of plans and there are many differences within those plans. Our staff does their best to keep abreast of what the different plans cover. However, due to constant changes with insurance coverage, it is ultimately your responsibility to know what your insurance plan covers. If the insurance company does not pay the full balance or denies the claim, any unpaid balance is due within thirty (30) days following the appointment.

Please call us with any questions regarding which insurance plans we accept or other billing concerns. Insurance coverage and benefit questions should be directed to your insurance company. It is your responsibility to notify us of any changes in your insurance plan.

Cancellations

If you must cancel an appointment, please call our office as soon as possible.

Prescription Refills

It is preferred that you call your pharmacy for medication refills. If there are no refills left on the prescription, the pharmacy personnel will contact our office. This will expedite the processing of your request. Please feel free to call our office if for some reasons you have not received your prescription refills.
