Our standard office procedure is that office visit copayments be paid at the time medical care is received. If you are a cash-paying patient, we require all services be paid for in full at the time of your visit.

Since appointment times are limited, these charges will apply for the following missed appointments:

• $25 Third missed ill appt. and any thereafter within the year
• $50 Missed physical exam appt.
• Walk-ins are discouraged as your unexpected arrival puts everyone behind in their schedules. A$25 walk-in/add-on fee will be charged. Should you have an urgent problem, please phone us first so we can make the appropriate plans for your child to be seen.

Patients arriving to be seen for a physical examination should enter through the "Well Patients" door. Patients to be seen for conditions that may be contagious should enter through the "Ill Patients" door.

Appointments for physical exams are scheduled the first part of the morning and afternoon. Please phone well in advance (2-3 months) to schedule routine physical examinations. As a courtesy to our families, our staff make reminder calls daily for the next day's scheduled physical exams and any appointments for recheck.

If you are unable to keep an appointment, please notify the office as soon as possible, preferably 24 hours prior to the appointment. Appointment times are limited, and the courtesy of your call will enable a sick child to be cared for.

Please allow 24 hours for the completion of all immunization records, school physical and camp forms. For school and camp forms, please fill in all requested information on the parent'l section before sending the forms to us with a stamped, self-addressed envelope.
