What you need for your first visit
|
|
Dr. Saatman has a long
new patient waiting list.
Some
patients have acute conditions that require
immediate
attention while other patients have chronic degenerative
disorders. Dr. Saatman has developed
an office
procedure for scheduling patients that
addresses this
issue. Your first appointment date
is scheduled based
on a review of your medical
history and studies. In
other words, patient’s
appointments are triaged
based on their medical
need just as an emergency department
treats
severe bodily injuries before common colds. |
Before your appointment can be scheduled,
you will need to have
the following items delivered to the
office.
- HIPAA Authorization Form (link to forms page)
- Patient Health History Form (link to forms page)
- Patient Info Sheet Form (link to forms page)
- Copy of Insurance Card (front and back)
(or bring to office and we will copy for you)
- Films, Studies, Reports that you have
had done.
Below are examples of these items:
-
X-Rays
-
CT scans
-
myelograms
-
MRI scans
-
EMG/NCV reports
-
bone scans
For your convenience, you can print and
complete these forms at home and e-mail them to:
or
you can bring them to the office. You can call the imaging
center where you had your films
done and instruct them to
deliver the films to Dr. Saatman at Bay Area Neurosurgery
or you can
bring them to the office.
Key to Scheduling First Appointment:
The faster you get the information to Dr.
Saatman -
The faster you will get your appointment
scheduled.
