What to bring to your first appointment:
The X-rays themselves will be returned as soon as possible after the examination.
Copies of any reports related to office visit. All hospital records, pathology and X-rays should also be brought with you.
- If you do not have insurance, payment in full is expected at the time of service. If you have a financial hardship, special
financial arrangements may be made with our financial counselor to discuss a payment plan option.
We are participating Medicare providers. We accept Medicare assignment. If you have Medicare, we will bill your Medicare insurance and supplemental carrier for you. We will collect co-payments at the time of service and bill you for the incurred balance. In the instance that you are covered by Medicare and your secondary insurance is a PPO or HMO plan, we will handle the insurance billing for you with benefits assigned to our office.
Please be aware that sometimes our neurosurgeons have unexpected emergencies or surgeries that arise at the last minute and may disrupt our schedules despite our best efforts. We will try our best to contact you to reschedule your appointment. If you live outside Tulsa, we strongly recommend calling our office to confirm your appointment before you leave home.
