Request an Appointment

New patients are always welcome in our practice, and you never wait long for your first appointment – we often have new patient appointments within 1 day! (Please contact your primary care physician for a referral if required by your insurance company.)

We can also schedule your follow-up or testing appointments quickly and to meet your busy schedule.

To schedule an appointment, please call our main office at (304) 342-8579.

Missed Appointments

In fairness to others, we require advance notice to cancel or change an appointment. You may be charged a fee for each appointment or test missed or not cancelled with appropriate advance notice. Missing more than two appointments without providing advance notice is grounds for discharge from the practice.

Type of Appointment                                    To Cancel or Change
New Consultations and Follow-up Visits         24 hour notice
Echocardiography Testing                                24 hour notice
Nuclear Cardiology Testing                              48 hour notice

Please call our main office at (304) 342-8579 if you have any questions.

Insurance & Payment

We accept most major insurance plans, and we will file your insurance claims for you. Please bring your insurance card(s) with you to your appointments.

Please check with your insurance company before your visit to see if you require a referral from your primary care physician.

Patient’s Financial Responsibility

Patients are financially responsible for all charges not paid by insurance. Your co-pay is expected at the time of service. We accept cash, checks, and VISA, MasterCard, and Discover.

Returned Checks

There will be a fee of $25.00 charged by this office for each check returned to us by your bank.

Collection Agency Costs

In the event that your account is forwarded to a collection agency, you agree to pay an additional fee equal to 33% of the balance forwarded to the collection agency and any additional attorney fees or court costs.
