Patient Tips

Whether you are coming in for an appointment or a procedure, this information will help make your visit go more smoothly. Please take a moment to read it carefully. Should you have questions, any member of our staff will be glad to help you.

Scheduling Appointments

Scheduling is a critical issue in every physician's office. Med Globe is no exception. Our physicians' schedules reflect the amount of time necessary to assist you with your medical issues. While our staff makes every effort to stay on established schedules, there may be occasions when you have to wait due to an emergency. We make every effort to keep these delays to a minimum.

If you are scheduling an appointment for a cosmetic consultation there is a $50.00 charge. This will be applied to your total should you decide to have a cosmetic procedure, otherwise the fee is non-refundable.

Missed Appointment Policy

To better serve our patients and minimize costs, please note that a missed appointment will result in the following charge:

• Office Visits - $25
  
  

Payment

• Med Globe accepts cash, checks and credit cards.
• If you are paying with cash, please have the correct amount (for example, the amount of your insurance co-payment).
• Payment is expected prior to seeing the physician.  
• If you need to set up a payment plan, a member of our Business Office staff will be glad to help you.

For New Patients

Please arrive at least 15 minutes before your appointment, allowing ample time for traffic and parking. You will need this time to complete and sign any forms, and time for our staff to make the necessary copies of your insurance information.

Please make sure you have your current insurance card and a photo I.D. (driver's license or military I.D.) when you arrive for your appointment.

We highly recommend that you check with your insurance company about your coverage before your appointment.
