Scheduling
Dr. Shoemaker’s staff will make every effort to accommodate you based on the urgency of your problem. If you are going to be late for your appointment or you are unable to attend at your scheduled time, please call and give Dr. Shoemaker notice as soon as possible. Due to the serious nature of Gynecology, medical and surgical emergencies may arise. If Dr. Shoemaker is delayed due to a medical or surgical emergency, every effort will be made by her staff to inform you of the situation. If possible, an option will be given to you to wait until Dr. Shoemaker is available or reschedule for a time that is more convenient for you. If you fail to attend your appointment without notice, YOU WILL BE CHARGED A $75 FEE. If you have 3 consecutive no show appointments, you will then be discharged from the practice. If you are more than 15 minutes late for your scheduled appointment you may be asked to reschedule.
Payment
Payment is expected at the time of service. Due to insurance regulations, COPAYS MUST BE RENDERED AT THE TIME OF YOUR APPOINTMENT. If you do not have your copay, we will be happy to reschedule you. Check or cash is graciously accepted. We also accept Visa, Mastercard, Discover, and American Express for payments over $20.00. A $35.00 processing fee will be added to any returned checks. Insurance cards are required at the time of visit. If you have a deductible that has not yet been met for the year, you may be asked to pay a portion of it upfront. The office will make you aware of the amount when they confirm your appointment the day before. If you are scheduling an in-office procedure, be aware that the total amount of your remaining deductible is due the day of your procedure. If you would have an account balance that is 120 days past due, your account will be sent to collections and you will be discharged from the practice.
Identification
In addition to your insurance card, Dr. Shoemaker requires you to also present a form of picture identification at your appointment. A driver’s license, state-issued identification card, student identification card, or employee identification are all acceptable forms of identification. Your picture will also be taken at the time of your appointment so that you may be promptly identified at every visit.
