Resources for Patients

First Visit

Your first visit to our office will be in the form of a consultation. The physician will meet with you to discuss your gastrointestinal issues, medical and social history, and to perform a physical examination. They will then discuss with you a treatment plan and course of action.

Please Bring The Following Items With You To Your Visit

  • Most current insurance card(s)
  • Driver’s license or photo identification
  • Co-payment in the form of cash, check or credit card
  • A complete listing of your medication, including dosages
  • If you have seen a Gastroenterologist in the past and/or have had prior diagnostic testing done (CT scan, x-ray, lab work, etc.), please have those records forwarded to us in advance or bring them with you to your appointment.
  • Ensure that our office has received a referral, if necessary, in advance of your appointment.

Insurance & Billing

Our Endoscopy Centers strive to give the best patient care possible, from start to finish. This includes having our patients informed so they do not incur unnecessary costs. We know how complex the healthcare system has become and would like to make things a little bit easier.

It is also important to contact your insurance company because there are so many different plans that have different levels of coverage. To find out what out-of-pocket costs you may be responsible for you should contact your specific plan. The facility might be in-network but there could be a deductible, co-payment, or co-insurance that you are not aware of.
