Patient Forms
What should I do before my scheduled office visit?

For your convenience, we provide all required patient forms online. Please download the forms below, print them, fill them out, and bring them to your scheduled doctor's appointment. All forms are PDF files and require Acrobat Reader.


Patient Registration and Medical History Form


Health Insurance:

Please provide us with your complete insurance information and bring your insurance card to all of your appointments. As a courtesy, we will submit the claim on your behalf. You will be responsible for your co-pay at the time of your appointment. If we do not participate with your insurance company, you will receive a monthly statement. In the event that a payment plan is needed, we will discuss options with you on an individual basis.

accepted at our office.


Please inquire about participation with your plan on the appointment form under Questions and Comments.


Managed Care Plans:

To accommodate the diversity of approaches to health insurance in today's managed care environment, we participate in managed care plans. The key to the smooth processing of your managed care claim is the Referral Form completed by your Primary Care Physician. To see us for an office visit you must provide us with a Referral Form or be willing to sign a Statement of Personal Responsibility. If your plan requires a co-pay, this payment is expected at the time of service.


Worker's Compensation:

If you are injured through your employment or are involved in an automobile accident while on the job, we will file your Worker's Compensation Claim for you. Our Work Comp Coordinator will work with your employer and/or adjustor to make your appointment after you have informed your employer of the injury.


Medicare

As a participating provider, we welcome Medicare patients and are pleased to submit your Medicare and secondary insurance claims for you.


Medicaid

As a participating provider, we also welcome Medicaid patients. If you are participating in the Georgia Better Health Care (GBHC) program you must provide us with a Referral Form from your Primary Care Physician. It is your responsibility to provide the name and phone number of your Primary Care Physician prior to your appointment.


Your Responsibility

Our policy requires payment in full at the time of treatment if you are not covered by an insurance plan with which we participate. Regardless of your insurance plan or circumstances for treatment rendered, please understand that you are ultimately responsible for payment.


Durable Medical Equipment (DME)

We provide DME for our patients by using an outside Vendor. The Vendor usually participates in the same insurance plans we participate with, but there is a wide variety of coverage for DME. Some plans cover in full, some pay 80% or 90% with co-insurance and other plans only cover with the appropriate rider. You will only receive billing information from the Vendor.
