Prescriptions

Prescriptions may be filled at the pharmacy of your choice.

New prescriptions and renewals must be requested during our office hours so that your physician can review your medical records.

Generally, prescription renewals will be completed within 24 hours; however, the patient must be presently under the care of a HealthCare Midwest Orthopedic Surgery physician or physician assistant. When calling for prescriptions, please have the pharmacy phone number available and notify us of any medication allergies or sensitivities.

Appointments may be scheduled by calling our office during regular business hours. Patients are seen by appointment only.

Our physicians handle many emergencies and it may occasionally be necessary for us to change your appointment. Under these circumstances, we will try to contact you promptly to notify you of changes or delays. Please be sure to supply our office with a daytime phone number where you can be reached. We will do our best to accommodate you by scheduling a prompt and convenient reappointment.

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.

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 emergency problems after regular business hours or on holidays, you will be given an opportunity to speak to our message center. The operator will ask you a few questions and will contact the physician on call.
