Welcome to Gardens Medical Group. We appreciate that you have selected our practice to provide your medical services. The relationship between a physician and a patient is very important; we have designed every aspect of our practice to provide the best care possible. Enclosed you will find pre-registration and medical history forms as well as other vital information. To expedite your first visit we ask that you complete all the forms prior to your visit. Please bring all forms with you on your first visit. Arrive about 30 minutes prior to your appointment to allow enough time to ensure forms are complete and we can scan your medical insurance card. Please bring all of your medications with you to your first visit. Please bring any referral medical records with you. We make every effort to confirm all appointments by phone, 24 hours prior to the appointment time. We use the phone number given during the registration process. There are times when we are not able to reach everyone to confirm their appointment for different reasons, so please, if for any reason you are unable to keep your appointment, contact our scheduling desk at 561.622.7661 to reschedule your appointment. Again, welcome, we look forward to a long lasting relationship. If you should ever have any questions or concerns, please contact me directly at 561.622.7661. Sincerely, Julie Gatyas Practice Operations Manager 3345 Burns Road Palm Beach Gardens, FL 33410 P: 561.622.7661 POS Reorder # 1714212
PATIENT INFORMATION Welcome to our office. Your time is valuable and being aware of the information below will help your contact with our office run smoothly. *Please fill out the enclosed paperwork/forms and bring them with you to your appointment. OFFICE HOURS: Our hours of operation are 9:00 am to 4:30 pm, Monday through Friday. EMERGENCY SITUATIONS Please remember the physicians and Medical Assistants are seeing scheduled patients throughout the day and it may take some time before a return call can be made. The office functions with a timely and efficient message system so it is not necessary to make repeat phone calls to the office during the course of the day. Other calls will be returned during the course of the day as our schedule allows. Calls received in our office after 3 pm may not be returned until the following day. We will provide you with a list of Urgent Care Centers that we work with. APPOINTMENTS We ask that you notify us at least 24 hours in advance to cancel your appointments. This will give us the opportunity to fill your time slot with another patient in need of an appointment. We reserve the right to charge for appointments broken with less than 24 hours notice. If you have several questions or problems to discuss, this is best handled by scheduling an office visit. Physical exams should be scheduled at least 3-6 months in advance as slots are limited. PRESCRIPTIONS Request prescription refills from your pharmacist who will use our prescription refill line. Plan a 48 to 72 hour turn around for routine refills and call the pharmacy to see if the medication is ready. Please allow yourself enough time for this process when requesting medication for mail order pharmacies. Please ask for refills of prescription medications that you keep on hand, such as allergy medications, when in the office for a doctor visit. Some medications require preauthorization by your health insurance plan. The pharmacist will generally notify you when this is the case. Completing the paperwork for preauthorization of prescription drugs will generally require at least 7 business days. Once our office has completed the paperwork we cannot speed up the process. While waiting for the medication to be approved for coverage, you may need to pay for a small supply out of pocket. This will ensure that you do not run out of medications that you need on a daily basis. TEST RESULTS Due to privacy laws, we encourage you to make an appointment to discuss your test results. We also believe this improves care and complies with HIPAA laws. REFERRALS Managed care referrals generally require a visit with your primary care physician first, unless this is a condition you have previously discussed. Requests for follow-up visits to the specialist may sometimes be handled with a phone call. Please allow at least a week to process any non-emergency referrals. (48 hours is the absolute minimum.) On an HMO plan, if a specialist refers you to another physician or facility (such as physical therapy) you must contact our office for that referral. We require a photo ID when picking anything up from our office, such as prescriptions, sample medications, any letters or notes from the physician. If someone other than you will be picking these things up for you, they must be listed on your PHI designation form and show photo ID before we release anything to them. Thank you for selecting Gardens Medical Group as your medical provider. The Physicians, Management and Staff POS Reorder # 1714213
