Dear New Patient:

Welcome to Guilford Medical Associates! We are pleased you have chosen us as a provider of your medical needs. This serves as an introduction to some of our office policies and procedures in hopes of allowing your transition to be as smooth as possible.

We request that you arrive 20-30 minutes prior to your scheduled appointment time for this initial visit. Early arrival will allow the necessary time to process all personal and insurance information needed to set up our medical records.

We file all insurance for our patients and participate with most managed care plans. Please bring all applicable insurance cards with you the day of your visit. Payment is expected from you on the day of service for any deductible, co-payment and service not covered by insurance. We accept Visa, Mastercard, personal checks and cash as methods of payment.

If you are a MEDICARE patient, we are required to ask you to pay your deductible and co-payment of the allowable charge at he time of service. All our physicians are participating providers with the MEDICARE program. If you have supplemental or additional insurance, we will file that as well.

Please use our web page to gather more information about our practice and to get answers to most frequently asked questions.

We look forward to caring for you as our patient and appreciate your cooperation and support of our policies. Again, welcome to GMA!

Sincerely,

The Doctors and Staff of Guilford Medical Associates
