Accepted Insurance Plans
Ascent Urology was created to provide the highest level of patient care, treatment and satisfaction. In order to achieve this, we found it useful and necessary to limit the scope of insurance plans we can accept.
Ascent Urology is contracted with Medicare.
Our patient population comprises of:
- Medicare participants with Parts A and B coverage
- Most major PPO Insurance Plans with Out-of-Network (OON) coverage and benefits
- Self-Pay Patients
Ascent Urology is considered an Out-of-Network (OON) Provider.
Currently we are not contracted with, and therefore are unable to accept, any HMO Plans or Medi-Cal plans.
Please contact our office staff to verify insurance eligibility.
On-Time & Cancellation Disclaimer
Ascent Urology strives to balance:
- providing all of its patients with enough time to fully and comfortably discuss their urologic and health history with
- being able to see and treat all patients that have made an appointment in a punctual manner.
For this reason, we kindly request that you plan to show up 5 minutes early to your scheduled appointment time, providing you have already completed and returned all the necessary New Patient Intake Forms.
New Patient Intake Forms may be furnished and completed in our office waiting room prior to your appointment only if you plan on arriving at least 1 hour prior to your scheduled appointment time. Please advise our staff at the time of scheduling if you plan on doing this.
We kindly ask that all scheduled appointments be honored, as a missed appointment is a time that could have otherwise been assigned to another patient in need. Therefore, we request that all patients that intend to cancel their appointment provide notification 48 hours prior to the scheduled time. By doing so, this will hopefully allow us the opportunity to fill that time.
Unfortunately, we cannot guarantee that a late arrival (more than 10 minutes past the allotted time) will be able to be rescheduled in the same day. Similarly, we cannot guarantee that a missed (no-show) appointment will be able to be re-scheduled in a timely manner, as our schedule is created weeks in advance.
If you think you will not be able to make your appointment please contact our staff immediately to notify them.
New Patient Forms
After speaking directly with our staff, verifying eligibility, and making an appointment, we will send you our New Patient Intake Forms via email. These do not have to be printed, they can be completely filled out, signed and submitted online (contact our office to receive print or digital forms).
If time allows prior to your appointment, and it is your preference, printed copies can also be sent to your residence via USPS.
All Forms Must Be Complete
We recognize these forms are lengthy and do take some time to fill out, depending on one’s health history. However, most of our patients report that they can complete them in less than 30 minutes. Only with their full completion will we have a holistic assessment of your health and be able to more accurately diagnose and treat you.
All of these forms need to be completed to the best of your ability, signed and returned prior to your appointment.
Unfortunately, a failure to fully complete and sign all of the provided forms prior to your arrival for your appointment, will likely result in rescheduling of your appointment at a later date.
Valid ID Required
Finally, you must bring a valid government-issued form of photo ID (Driver’s License or passport) and provide valid insurance documentation at the time of your appointment (if applicable).
Secondary Languages
At this time, we do not provide these forms in Spanish or any other languages.
Although some of our staff does speak Spanish, they are unable and unauthorized to provide translation for any medical, legal or financial documents we furnish and require.
Therefore, we strongly suggest you have a trusted family member, friend or certified translator provide you with a thorough translation prior to filling out or signing any form you do not fully understand.
En este momento no ofrecemos estas formas en español o cualquier otro idioma.
Aunque algunos de nuestros empleados si hablan español, no son capaces o tienen la autoridad para proveer traducción por cualesquiera documentos médicos, legales o financieros que necesita Ascent Urology.
Por lo tanto, sugerimos fuertemente que Usted pide un miembro de su familia, un amigo de confianza, o un Traductor certificado, que puede proveer una traducción completa por cualquier forma que no se entiende antes de cumplir o firmar.
