| Billing Policy For Women Only accepts all major insurance plans along with Kansas and Missouri Medicaid. We also accept self pay (cash) patients – please contact our office manager or billing specialist prior to scheduling your appointment to receive a quote for your visit. Full payment is always due at time of service. Co-Pays are due at check-in along with any outstanding balance. After your visit For Women Only will bill your insurance company, and if any balance is owed after your insurance payment we will mail a statement to you. Payment is expected within 30 days from statement date. For Women Only accepts all major credit cards, cash and checks with a valid drivers license. If at any time you have questions about your bill contact our billing specialist Erkia at 913-541-1158. We look forward to working with you! Emergencies Obviously, urgent or emergency calls are accepted at all hours, every day of the year. Sometimes we may not be available immediately to care for you, but at these times we will have arranged to have another specialist available to see you immediately should this be necessary. We encourage you most strongly to call the office during regular hours should you feel that a medical problem is developing. This allows us to arrange for your care on a non-emergency basis whenever possible. In an emergency, you should reach our office by telephoning the regular office number (913) 541-9495. Your call will be transferred to us or the physician on call through the answering machine. Telephones We welcome and encourage you to call the office if you have a problem or question, or need to get in touch with us for any reason. Please make non-emergency calls between 8:30 A.M. and 5 P.M. when your records are readily available. When you call, the receptionist will either schedule an appointment, or direct your call to the appropriate person. If the physician and their medical assistants are busy with patients, the receptionist will take your call and relay your message to the phone nurse on duty. Your call will be returned as soon as possible, which in non-urgent cases is usually later in the day. If you are calling to have a prescription refilled, we ask that you call during office hours so that we will have your chart available to make sure that a refill is the best course of treatment. Please have the pharmacy phone number available in case the doctor wants to discuss the medication with them. If you are calling to get laboratory report results, please be patient and hold until the nurse can look up your result. We will notify you as soon as possible of any test results that are abnormal and/or indicate that an early follow-up is needed. Be sure we have your correct address and phone number to notify you if necessary. Please tell us if you do not want to receive a report at the phone number or address you have given us. Most test results will be discussed with you at your next regularly scheduled appointment. This allows us to provide you with the best possible understanding of the significance of the test to your present condition and future treatment. |
