Emergencies:
During non-business hours we will refer you to our local Emergency department or primary care physician.

Cancellations/Missed Appointments:
Our doctors do not double book or over book. Our office has a minimum 24 hour cancellation policy. If this is not possible, please call us as early as possible. Please cancel Monday appointments the previous Friday. Failing to cancel an appointment in advance may result in a charge for the missed appointment.

Scheduling:
Appointments are scheduled back to back. The doctor does not have the freedom to spend additional time with a patient who arrives late.

Payment:
Payment is requested and expected at the time service is provided. Payment can be made by check, cash or credit card.

Returned Checks: A fee of $25.00 will be applied to each returned check.

Insurance(s):
Dr. Blood and Dr. Craddock do not participate with ANY insurance carrier, Workers’ Compensation or Medicare. Our office will provide you with a statement that you can submit to your carrier for reimbursement. Note to TRICARE beneficiaries, we are a “non-authorized” provider.

If you are covered by Medicare, TRICARE, or are a retired federal employee, you must notify the front office staff and sign a treatment waiver.
MEDICARE PATIENTS CANNOT SUBMIT TO MEDICARE; TRICARE PATIENTS CANNOT SUBMIT TO TRICARE, however, if you have a secondary insurance carrier, you may submit to them.
