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:
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.
* You
will need to know:
- if your
coverage has an annual deductible;
- if you
have a co-insurance;
- if your
insurance covers an annual physical;
Unless instructed otherwise, if your visit
entails blood work( ex: Physical exam for adults), please do not
eat anything for 8 hours prior to the visit (water is
fine).

the most current insurance information and demographic
information (address, phone number etc.)
Please arrive 10 minutes before your appointment, allowing
ample time for traffic. If you are 30 minutes late for your
appointment, you will have to reschedule.
