The First Office Visit

If you are planning your first visit to Russellville Pediatric & Adolescent clinic keep in mind these helpful tips to make your visit go smoothly:

• Bring a valid driver's license and your insurance card.
• Bring a list of medications your child is currently taking.
• Bring your immunization or vaccine record or an updated list of vaccines given to your child.
• Be ready to answer questions about your child’s medical history – allergies, past injuries or illness.
• Arrive a little early to increase your chances of being seen on time or having a short wait.
• Print out and complete the new patient forms and bring them with you to your first visit.

Arriving early to your appointment allows sufficient time for us to verify insurance coverage while you complete any necessary paperwork and update your child’s information. New patients are asked to arrive 20 minutes prior to their appointment and existing patients are asked to arrive 15 minutes prior to their appointment. Please keep in mind that your insurance company requires that data be updated prior to each visit. If your insurance information is not updated, your claim may be denied, leaving you responsible for the payment.

Every effort is made to treat patients at their scheduled appointment time. There are, however, times when our schedule is delayed due to unforeseen treatments and/or urgent situations. We apologize in advance for any inconvenience if this occurs during your visit to our clinic. We will provide the same level of service if your child is in need of immediate care.
