New Patient Registration Procedure 

*Please note that former patients of Dr. Laumans do not need to complete #6*

 

1. Contact us by . Let us know why you are interested in our practice and your insurance company (if any).   We will place you on the waiting list.

2. When accepted, you will receive a confirmation email from us with an invitation to begin the new patient registration procedure (this list). 

3. Schedule a New Patient Visit. Your visit will last 1 hour. Children under 18 with non-eventful past medical histories may schedule a "Well Child Visit" (60 minutes) for their first visit. Click below for the appropriate history form. Please write down your login information and password for the online appointment scheduler, and change it to something you will remember (recommended). 

4.  Print out the New Patient Packet - review it and bring the Patient Information page, the Signature Page, your annual fee and any questions that you have on the Practice Policies with you to your appointment. Please bring it with you to the appointment. This packet has the practice's policies, a checklist for what to bring to your appointment, and a signature page that allows me to treat you. 

5. Please print out the Adult Medical History Questionnaire or Well Child Exam Form as appropriate for age -  fill it out and bring it with you to your first appointment. 

6. Decide whether you would like us to be your Primary Care Physician or a Consultant. If you would like Dr. Hirsch or Margie Miller to be your Primary Care Physician, call your insurance company by calling the customer service number written on your insurance card and let them know. However, if you would like to do a Holistic Medicine Consultation, just ask your doctor for a verbal or written referral to see us. That way, you can see us as well as your primary care doctor! 

*6. Transfer your medical records. Each new patient should request a transfer of medical records from their previous physician using the form that is available in the New Patient Packet (it's called the Authorization to Disclose Information form). Inquire of the cost of transferring records before submitting the form! If costs are prohibitive, you should contact us to decide which elements of the medical record are essential. Patients can be seen before we receive this information, but please request the transfer before your appointment.

 

 Be aware, for most patients with complex or chronic illness it will take a few visits before our plan for healing is solidified.
