The information on this site is solely for purposes of general patient education, and may not be relied upon as a substitute for professional medical care. Consult your own physician for evaluation and treatment of your specific condition.
NCI physicians see patients by appointment only. However,
each doctor’s appointment schedule does have urgent care time reserved for
patients who need to be seen for urgent or emergent problems that same day.
Patients are asked to notify NCI’s appointment schedulers at least
twenty-four (24) hours in advance if they are not able to keep scheduled
appointments, so their time slots can be made available for other patients
who need to be seen.
NCI also offers nurse only office visits for established
patients who need to be seen for blood pressure checks, EKGs, immunizations
and/or medications. These office visits are scheduled by the doctor’s nurse
and are usually just before office hours in the morning or on days when the
physician is not in the office (or as the schedule permits).
Patients are expected to bring proof of insurance coverage in
the form of current insurance cards issued by their medical insurance
companies. NCI makes every effort to verify insurance coverage and current
eligibility. In the event proof of insurance coverage cannot be verified
before the appointment, a patient will be required to pay at the time of the
office visit.
Patients who have managed care (HMO) contracts, PPO contracts
and Medicare with no secondary coverage are expected to pay their co-pays as
dictated by contract at the time of their visit. NCI is obligated by
contract to collect co-pays from beneficiaries and/or their dependents at
the time of service.
