Can I schedule a Preventive Medicine visit (Annual Physical) as a new patient?
Yes. However, be aware that these visits focus primarily on preventive medicine. Although your physician may have time to discuss problems which you might be having, you will probably need to schedule additional appointments if there are other issues. Please check to make sure your insurance covers preventive medicine services.
Do I have to schedule a doctor visit even though I think I know what I have?
Yes. No treatment will be prescribed over the phone. Your physician must evaluate you to determine a proper diagnosis before rendering any form of treatment including medications
What if I need a referral? What information do I need to give to my insurance company if I have a referral?
Before you schedule an appointment or see a specialist outside of Quad Cities Medical Group Family Care, please contact your health insurance company. Many times a referral is needed in order for the patient to see a physician other than his/her primary care physician. Also, be sure that the specialist accepts your type of insurance, so you know your financial responsibility. Should you require a referral please contact our nurse.
