a minimum of 24 hours notice if unable to keep a scheduled
appointment. A fee of $25 is charged for non-cancellation
of an appointment.

Telephone
Assistance
Our telephone number is 240-482-2555. We encourage our patients
to call at any time with questions. Our nursing and administrative
staff have been specially trained to answer many of your routine
questions. If it is necessary to speak to your doctor, please
do not hesitate to request that they return your call. Calls
are returned as time permits; however, messages with the greatest
urgency are given priority. If you find it necessary to contact
a physician after normal office hours, please leave a message
and the physician on-call for the practice will return your
call.
Prescription
Refills
For prescription refills, please have your pharmacy call on
weekdays during normal business hours.
Lab
Results
Staff
can provide results of lab studies and receive reports of
your condition following procedures.
Fees,
Insurance, Financing
We make every effort to keep down the cost of your medical
care. As a courtesy to our patients, our office participates
with numerous insurance companies and several managed health
care programs. If you are a member of one of these plans,
your insurance claim will be submitted on your behalf. Any
medical services which are not covered by your insurance are
your responsibility, and payment in full is due at the time
of the visit. For HMO insurance plans, referrals must be presented
at time of the appointment or we will have to reschedule the
appointment. Please call with any questions on insurance matters.
Medical
breakthroughs have offered an array of new procedures that
can provide you with new opportunities and hope concerning
your health and wellness goals. Unfortunately, insurance does
not pay for many of these life-improving procedures. Part
of well-being is knowing that you can afford your procedures
of choice without breaking the bank.
