Policies

Payment of all co-pays is expected at the time of your office appointment. Insurance and federal regulations now prevent physicians from waiving the co-pay for any patient, regardless of relationship.

Insurance referrals and workers compensation referrals must be in place at the time of the office visit or your appointment will be rescheduled or delayed.

Prescription refills or renewals, appointments, or non-emergent questions will only be handled during office hours. The on-call physician will be available for emergencies during weeknights, weekends, and holidays. The on-call physician may or may not be your personal physician and cannot put you in contact with your personal physician during on-call hours.

Braces, orthotics, inserts, and other durable medical goods are given because your physician feels they will be helpful for your condition. Wareham Orthopedic Associates cannot accept any returned products once they are fitted and taken out of the office.

If you are unable to make a scheduled appointment please reschedule with our office as early as possible. Patients who consistently miss appointments without rescheduling may be referred elsewhere for their care.

It is our highest priority to see patients in a timely fashion however hospital emergencies occasionally arise which make it necessary to rearrange the office schedule.
