These treatments are designed to open blocked arteries and improve blood circulation to the heart muscle.
How do I prepare for my first visit?
For your first visit, please come a little early to allow time for paperwork. Bring your insurance card, a form of photo ID, a referral form if needed, and a list of current medications with dosages. It's also helpful to have copies of recent lab results and any questions you want to ask your doctor.
Will my insurance cover interventional cardiology treatments?
While we will submit claims to your primary and secondary insurance as a courtesy, you are ultimately responsible for payment. If you have questions about coverage or need help understanding your insurance requirements, our staff will walk you through the process with care and clarity.
Do I need a referral for an appointment?
Some insurance plans require a referral or pre-authorization to see one of our specialists. It is important to check with your provider and bring any necessary referral forms with you.
