An annual exam is a once-a-year visit to your primary care provider for a general health check. It generally lasts from 30 to 60 minutes. During this appointment you can expect your physician to review the following:

• General physical exam (blood work and EKG)
• Update of family health history (any new serious illnesses in your family?)
• Review of your health history
• Update of current medications, herbs, and supplements
• Need for medication refills
• Evaluation of need for health screening tests based on age and personal and family history (such as mammogram, test for sexually transmitted diseases, and colon cancer screening)
• Update on immunizations
• Schedule follow-up visit to discuss new health concerns or address chronic health issues.

When scheduling your appointment for an annual physical, the office staff will inform you if you will need to fast prior to your visit. If your annual physical will include Cholesterol and Glucose testing, you will be asked to fast for 6-8 hours prior to your appointment. During this time, you may consume water, coffee, or tea without dairy products, sugar or sugar substitutes. Please do not apply any powders, lotions or oils on your chest, wrist or ankles on the day of your Annual Physical.

While most insurance companies cover one annual exam a year, it is important that you check with your insurance carrier to review your specific policy. Please note that Medicare does not cover routine annual exams. You may choose to pay for routine physicals and tests out-of-pocket or by using a flexible health spending plan that your employer may provide.

Yes. If you are planning to travel outside the United States, please schedule a "travel visit" with your physician. During this appointment, your physician will be able to provide you with the necessary vaccines and medicines as well as discuss any medical concerns you may have regarding your trip. If you know the types of vaccines you will require please inform the doctor's assistant when you schedule the travel visit. You should allow yourself at least 2 to 4 weeks of time prior to travel as some of the vaccinations may require a series of shots over a period of time. Travel visit charges are based on complexity and range from $125.00-175.00. These charges are separate from vaccine charges and are not covered by insurance. You will be expected to pay the visit charges at the time of your travel visit. Also, please note, travel related services will not be provided at the same time as your Annual Physical appointment.

You can request a referral by phone or online through the Patient Portal at www.mhmg.net. Please be aware that your doctor may ask that you schedule an office visit prior to authorizing the referral. Only your physician can determine the type of referral that is best for you or if a referral is even necessary.

When requesting a referral, please have the following information available:

• Dr.'s first and last name
• Specialty (Ophthalmologist, Dermatologist, Gastroenterologist, etc.)
• Doctor's Phone
• Doctor's Fax (Without a fax number, we cannot fax the referral to the Doctor's office.)
• Doctor's Provider Identification number (NPI)
• The reason for the visit/diagnosis (Routine Eye Exam, Consult, etc.)
• The date of your scheduled appointment if you already have one.
• Phone number where we can reach you if additional information is required.

It is your responsibility to be familiar with your insurance plan's requirements regarding referrals, and covered benefits. Contact your insurance representative or employee benefits office if you are unsure about these details.

When a referral is needed, please let us know in advance. If you see a specialist without first requesting a referral, you assume financial responsibility for the service. We are unable to backdate referrals. Referrals take an average of 48 hours to process. Some authorizations such as MRI and CT Scans can take much longer depending on your insurance policy's clinical review process. Please check the status of your referral prior to being seen by a specialist.

You can speak to your doctor's assistant to request a refill for your medication. For your added convenience, you can also request refills via the Patient Portal at www.mhmg.net. Please request prescription refills during regular office hours so that we can contact your pharmacy during normal business hours. For your safety, your doctor may request an office visit prior to authorizing a prescription refill.

For routine refills, you have the option to contact your pharmacy directly. The pharmacist will then contact our office for approval. Please allow 24-48 hours for processing the request.

Prescriptions for controlled substances can either be picked up at our office, or mailed to you directly. We are unable to call these in to your local pharmacy.

Please contact your physician's office directly for test results. In the near future we hope to be able to send these to you via secured email.
