We are also interested in learning whether or not you are affected by pain because of your illness. How much pain have you had because of your condition in the PAST WEEK?

Pain Score:

0 (No Pain) - 100 (Severe Pain)

Considering all the ways that your arthritis affects you, rate how you are doing.

Pain Score:

0 (Very Well) - 100 (Very Poor)

*The Health Assessment Questionnaire (HAQ) Disability Index was developed by James F. Fries, MD, and colleagues at Stanford University and measures disability with the use of aids and devices. It is scored on a scale of 0-3 units. A score of 0 indicates the lack of any measurable degree of disability, whereas a score of 3 means that a patient is unable to perform all activities.

This Section is For Physician Use Only

Cancellation Policy/No Show Policy

For Doctor Appointments and Surgery

1. Cancellation/ No Show Policy for Appointment

We understand that there are times when you must miss an appointment due to emergencies or obligations for work or family. However, when you do not call to cancel an appointment, you may be preventing another patient from getting much needed treatment. Conversely, the situation may arise where another patient fails to cancel and we are unable to schedule you for a visit, due to a seemingly “full” appointment book. If an appointment is not cancelled at least 24 hours in advance you will be charged a fifty-dollar ($50) fee; this will not be covered by your insurance company.

2. Scheduled Appointments

We understand that delays can happen however we must try to keep the other patients and doctors on time. If a patient is 15 minutes past their scheduled time we may have to reschedule the appointment.

3. Cancellation/ No Show Policy for Surgery

Due to the large block of time needed for surgery, last minute cancellations can cause problems and added expenses for the office. If surgery is not cancelled at least 10 days in advance you will be charged a two hundred dollar ($200) fee; this is will not be covered by your insurance company.

4. Account balances

We will require that patients with self-pay balances do pay their account balances to zero (0) prior to receiving further services by our practice. Patients who have questions about their bills or who would like to discuss a payment plan option may call and ask to speak to a business office representative with whom they can review their account and concerns. Patients with balances over $100 must make payment arrangements prior to future appointments being made. By typing your name below, you are signing this application electronically.
