Office Policies
Missed Appointment
If you cannot keep an appointment, please contact us as soon as possible so that we can reschedule. We request cancellation notification at least 24 hours in advance to allow scheduling another patient during that appointment time.
Referrals
Referrals are made to specialty physicians when we decide their expertise is essential. However, most health problems can be treated by our medical staff. Your Gulf Coast Medical Group provider must evaluate your condition before a referral is considered. This system is more cost effective and gives you continuity of care in a friendly and well-known environment.
Prescription Renewals
Ideally, prescriptions should be re-written at a scheduled office visit before your prescriptions run out. This allows your doctor or nurse to monitor the clinical and laboratory effects of your prescription medications and adjust the dose in a timely manner. Please make your follow-up appointment in plenty of time before your prescription runs out.
