Making Your Appointment Successful

  1. Please arrive 15-30 minutes prior to your scheduled appointment to allow time for registration, confirmation of insurance coverage, and for completing forms related to your visit. If you have already completed the necessary forms please present them to the front office staff upon your arrival. On your first visit to NNS, we will ask for your insurance card(s) and picture identification (ex: driver’s license, military id).
  2. Expect to complete a medical history and registration form for each visit. Please complete these forms in detail and confirm the accuracy of the information. At each visit, you will be asked to update information such as telephone number, address, insurance information, primary physician, referring physician, and contact information. These may have changed since your last visit to NNS.
  3. Please bring a detailed list of your current medications including their dosages. If possible, please bring your medications in their original bottles to verify their use, administration, dosage, and prescribing physician information. It is also important that you list any vitamin and herbal supplements that you are taking.
  4. Please bring your insurance card(s) to each visit so that NNS can verify ongoing benefits and coverage, and to determine if any co-pays or pre-certifications are required by your carrier.
  5. Every effort will be made to arrange for your x-rays, CT scans, MRI scans, and lab test results to be delivered or faxed to NNS prior to your appointment. You may, however, be asked to bring these with you to avoid any potential delay in scheduling your appointment. NNS physicians review these studies directly, in conjunction with the written report, to assist in their assessment and treatment recommendations.
  6. Although we make every effort to see you at your scheduled time, please understand that unanticipated delays can occur. As we respect your time as well, you will be informed promptly of any significant waiting time to give you the option of rescheduling, or continuing to wait.
