If you are referred to Cardiovascular Associates of Northern Wisconsin, S.C. from another medical office the referring physician's office will forward all necessary medical information. Your physician's office will call our office to schedule an appointment with one of our cardiologists. They will indicate how soon you need to be seen. Our scheduling staff will inquire about any past medical history so our physicians have all the necessary information at the time of your appointment.
If the patient is a "self-referral" no appointment will be scheduled until the symptoms are assessed, by an RN, to determine how soon the patient should be seen. New patients may call our office direct to schedule an appointment. The patient will talk with a scheduler. The scheduler will take down the necessary information i.e. patient's name, date of birth, phone number and all pertinent information regarding their symptoms. The scheduler will indicate to the patient that a nurse will call them back to get more information.
After the nurse has talked with the patient, she will then indicate how soon the patient needs to be seen by the cardiologist and one of the schedulers will then call the patient to set up the appointment. A new patient packet along with release of medical record form(s) and self-addressed stamped envelope will be sent to the patient. Patients can also print the new patient forms online.
In order to maintain our goal to provide quality medical care in a timely and cost effective manner, we have implemented an appointment cancellation policy for new patient appointments and for nuclear medicine stress test appointments. If you are unable to keep your scheduled appointment, a 24 hour advanced notice is required. Failure to provide notice will result in a $25 missed appointment fee. This fee cannot be billed to your insurance carrier and payment is expected at the time of your next scheduled appointment.
