Appointments
For new patient appointments, please call our office to schedule. For subsequent appointments, please feel free to request an appointment online. Our office will call you back to confirm your appointment day and time.
Medication Refills
Requests for medication refills must be made one week before you will run out of your medication.
Financial Support Services
We participate with all copay assistance programs and have access to foundations that can help with any costs not covered by your insurance benefits. As a new patient we will investigate your benefits for you and advise you about the copays or costs that you may be responsible for.
Billing Questions
A representative from our office will investigate your benefits and will call to explain your coverage and benefits and potential costs for each treatment. Please call our office staff with any questions.
Insurance
Your insurance company may encourage you to do infusions at a facility outside of a hospital. LMG Cancer and Infusion Center fulfills that requirement.
We participate with most major insurance companies. When you make your initial appointment, we’ll ask for your insurance information and will explore your coverage prior to your visit. Our goal is to handle insurance coordination for you so you can focus on your health.

Emergencies
If you are experiencing a life-threatening emergency, call 911. Call our office only after you have made arrangements to get to the Emergency Room.
Do not hesitate to call our office for any problem that is important to you. There is no need to be miserable. If a certain medication is not working, please call and let us know. Chances are we can prescribe or suggest something to make you more comfortable.
Our nurses return calls during business hours, as time permits. If your matter is urgent, please tell the receptionist so a nurse is alerted and can call you back in a timely manner. Please understand that test results and prescriptions refills are prioritized after urgent patient needs.
Our physicians’ schedules are also long so non-emergency calls may be returned late in the day, after patient appointments in the office.
