Office
Children of divorced or separated parents
Payment for services is required
by whichever parent brings the child into the office for
services. Divorce agreements are between the two parents
and do not affect our office. We will provide you with a
paid receipt for these services.
Appointments:
We request that you call
for all appointments. It is important that you keep schedules
appointments. If you are a new patient, please arrive 15
minutes before your scheduled appointment to complete registration
forms. Failure to cancel appointments can disrupt the office
flow and prevent other patients from being seen. Three missed
appointments within one year (without canceling), will result
in dismissal from the practice. Please give us 24 hour notice
if you need to cancel your appointment. We will strive to
meet your medical needs within the allotted time, but please
know that emergencies can happen and could cause a delay
in your appointment time. We are required to triage patients
at times, which may affect the schedule. Please be prepared
to wait if necessary.
Medical Records
Our medical records department
is open from 8:00-2:00 Monday-Wednesday. Please try to provide
our office with your previous records prior to your first
visit so the physician can review.
To have your records released from this
office, you will need to complete and sign a request form
indicating the physician to whom the records should go.
Medication Refills
Medication refills should
be called in to us one week before the prescription is finished.
When you call, please give your name, date of birth, phone
number, and name of the drug, prescription number and pharmacy.
For long distance pharmacies, you will need to provide us
with a toll free fax number or have the pharmacy call us
for your refill. If your prescription needs to be written,
please indicate the quantity and number of refills you need
when you call the office.
We will make every effort for your medication
to be called in by 5:00 pm daily. Please call your pharmacy
before you go.
It is important that you check your prescriptions
and not run out of medication. Please check your medication
to be certain you will not be out when the office is closed
or the physician is out of town.
Narcotics and anti-anxiety medicines will
only be refilled by the physician who prescribed them and
only during office hours when the patient’s chart
is available for reference. Medications not prescribed by
Dr. Bowlin will not be refilled by this office.
Disability Claims
Your doctor is responsible
for deciding if disability, FMLA, and time off work forms
are appropriate for you. They will be completed in a timely
manner and there will be a 15.00 charge for each form completed
by your physician. Please know FMLA forms will not be completed
for routine illnesses. FMLA is intended for chronic illnesses
and will be treated as such.
Work/School Excuses
All patients must ask the
physician for a work/school excuse while he/she is still
in the exam room. The receptionist will then write out your
release and make a copy for your chart.
Hospitalists
If you must be admitted to
the hospital, you will be cared for by hospitalists. Hospitalists
are a group of physicians who specialize in hospital care.
Diagnosis and treatment will be provided and you will be
given the best possible care while in the hospital. Upon
discharge, you will be instructed to follow up with Dr.
Bowlin, who will resume your care.
Minor Children
All minor children must be
accompanied by a parent or consented adult with every visit.
Never leave your child unattended in any area of the office.
