Our office also provides on-site testing of peripheral nerves and muscles. This test, called an EMG or electromyogram, is performed by a neurologist who is board certified in Neurophysiology.

Our office participates with a variety of insurance carriers. Since these arrangements change from time to time, we will review our participation status at the time of your registration appointment. If you have a question about pre-authorization, please contact your insurance carrier prior to your appointment.

You must bring your insurance card(s) to each appointment to help us provide the most efficient and trouble-free processing of your claim. If you are not insured, we request payment at the time of service.

If your insurance changes, please be sure to notify us as soon as possible. Having accurate information enables us to contact you promptly and submit claims accurately.

HealthCare Midwest has many physicians and service locations. For your convenience you will receive one statement for all HealthCare Midwest services. Any payment made after the time of service will be applied to your oldest balance.

If you have an emergency that requires immediate attention, call 911, or proceed directly to the hospital emergency room.

If you call our office for non-life threatening emergency problems after regular business hours or on holidays, please call our office and a message will be transmitted to our on-call physician and you will receive a return call.
