Late Arrivals
If you are more than 15 minutes late for your appointment or we cannot complete the required administrative preparation for your appointment without delaying other patients, it may be necessary to reschedule your appointment. Every effort will be made to be sure you are seen in a timely manner.
Missed Appointments
Please cancel your scheduled appointment by phone at least 24 hours in advance. If you do not cancel within 24 hours of your appointment time, you may be assessed a $35 missed appointment fee. This fee is not covered by insurance carriers and it will be your responsibility to pay. Our aim is to open unused appointments for our patients, not to collect missed appointment fees. Your cooperation is greatly appreciated.
Emergencies
Obstetrics and gynecology often involve emergency procedures, surgical delays, and deliveries. We ask for your understanding, and if we are running behind schedule, our staff may attempt to notify you.
Insurance
We participate with many insurance companies. Please confirm the participation of our providers with your insurance company.
Prescription Refills
Feel free to call us for prescription refills during regular business hours. Be aware that refills may take up to 48 hours to be sent to your pharmacy. Prescription refills requested after hours and on weekends will be completed the next business day. In order for us to process your request, we need the name and dosage of the medication, pharmacy and location, and a phone number where we can reach you.
Records Release Policy
Capital Women’s Care maintains the patient’s rights wherein all medical records are kept confidential according to all federal and state laws. Federal and state law requires the patient’s signature, or that of an authorized personal representative, to release or transfer medical records. The patient records are defined as all records that relate to the health of the patient and are prepared by or under the supervision of a healthcare provider associated with Capital Women’s Care. Patients who provide records from another physician, outside of CWC, are encouraged to retain their own copy as Capital Women’s Care cannot provide a copy.
Billing Inquiries
Our patient account representatives are happy to assist you with questions about your statement or the status of your account.
