Patient Information

What to Bring for Your Appointment

  • Valid driver’s license or personal identification card, a form of payment (we accept cash, personal checks with valid identification, Visa, MasterCard, Discover, and American Express), your medical insurance card(s), and a list of your current medications.
  • If you are a new patient, please arrive 30 minutes before your appointment time and bring with you the completed new patient paperwork that was mailed to your home or delivered through secure email or text message.
  • If you are an existing patient, please arrive 15 minutes prior to your appointment to allow enough time to complete necessary registration procedures and/or update insurance information.

Canceled Appointments

  • We require 24-hour notice to cancel or reschedule an appointment. Appointments should be canceled only when it is absolutely necessary. If you cancel or reschedule with less than 24-hour notice of your scheduled appointment, it will be considered a “no show” appointment.
  • Additionally, patients who arrive more than 15 minutes late will be considered “no show” and may have to reschedule. Please remember that your care will be delayed when you miss a scheduled appointment.
  • Patients who repeatedly fail to fulfill scheduled appointments will be dismissed as a patient from the Comprehensive Care Clinic.

Children Accompanying Parents

To ensure the safety of children, they cannot be left unattended in the waiting area. Children must be supervised by an adult at all times. If your children are left unattended, your appointment will be canceled. Therefore, please make prior arrangements for appropriate childcare.

Non-English Speaking Patients

For the benefit of your understanding of the treatment provided, we encourage you to bring a translator with you to your appointment if you do not speak English. If you do not have a translator, please provide at least 24-hour notice so we can be prepared for translation services.

Special Needs

Please advise us in advance if you have special needs, such as a hearing impairment or the availability of a wheelchair.

Payment for Medical Services

Payment for office services, co-pays, and deductibles are due at the time of service. If you are unable to pay for your services on the date of your appointment, your appointment will be rescheduled. For your convenience, we accept cash, personal checks with valid identification, Visa, MasterCard, Discover, and American Express. There is an additional $30.00 charge for returned checks. Patients will not receive treatment until all fees and outstanding charges are paid in full or payment arrangements have been made.

Medical Insurance

If you have medical insurance, please bring your insurance information with you to your first appointment. This should include a valid insurance card, an address for submitting claims, and the name, date of birth, and social security number of the subscriber. We will file your insurance claim for you as a courtesy if you are covered by one of the plans with which our physicians participate.

If our healthcare providers do not participate in your plan or you do not have insurance coverage, your payment for medical services will be due upon check-out from the clinic. It is ultimately the patients’ responsibility to review their insurance policies regarding any limitations, exclusions, alternative benefits, deductibles, co-payments, annual maximums, and pre- authorizations prior to treatment.

Referrals and Prior Authorizations

Patients are responsible for verifying with your insurance carrier whether you need a referral or prior authorization. If your insurance requires a referral or prior authorization, you must first contact your Primary Care Provider’s office to obtain the referral or prior authorization and bring it to your appointment.

MWU Cares Program

We are here to serve the community, and we offer a program to assist the public in times of financial hardship. Please contact the Manager of Patient Accounts at 623-537-6000 for more information.

Non-Payment

The Comprehensive Care Clinic will attempt to make payment arrangements when necessary. However, if a payment plan has been established and no payment activity has occurred on the patient account, this may result in dismissal from the Comprehensive Care Clinic and other Midwestern University Clinics and the account being sent to a collection agency.

Medical Records

Medical records are the property of the Comprehensive Care Clinic. As the patient, you have a right to view them and have reasonable access. Copies of your records will be provided to you or forwarded to another provider upon your signed written request. There is a nominal fee charged for the duplication of records, which must be paid prior to the copies being released.

Patient Inquiry

If you have any questions about your treatment or rights, you should first contact your healthcare provider. You should attempt to resolve non-financial patient problems and/or complaints with your healthcare provider while you are in the clinic. In the event that this effort is unsuccessful, you should consult the Medical Director.

Problems of a financial nature should be directed to the Patient Accounts Office.

Patient Dismissal Procedure

It is the policy of Midwestern University to maintain a positive, trusting, and cooperative relationship with clinic patients. In the event a clinic chooses to dismiss a patient of record from the teaching program and/or clinical care, this policy outlines the University’s patient dismissal procedure.

Single Clinic Dismissal

A clinic may decide, independently of another clinic, to dismiss a patient. That patient may be dismissed from the teaching program or from the clinic for any of the following reasons:

  • After three no-show appointments, during the preceding twelve calendar months, a patient may be dismissed from the teaching program or clinic. A no-show appointment is defined as the patient’s failure to provide a 24-hour notice of a cancelation and/or failure to show for scheduled appointments.
  • A patient may be dismissed who is seeking only occasional treatment for relief of pain and not interested in comprehensive care.
  • Failure to schedule appointments for completion of procedures.
  • Failure to schedule health maintenance appointments.
  • Refusal to provide complete and accurate information about current medical conditions and complaints, past illnesses, medications, and other issues relevant to care.
  • Failure to adhere to the Midwestern University Clinics’ responsibilities as a patient or guardian of a patient, as outlined on the clinic website. 
  • Refusal of treatment and/or not following provider instructions.
  • Failure to provide information about payment for services.
  • Each clinic may individually make a decision to dismiss a patient. For example, a patient who fulfills criterion 4 may be dismissed from the Dental Institute, but might not be dismissed by the Eye Institute. Final decision for a patient dismissal is made by the Clinical Dean/Medical Director or their designee in each clinic.

Patients in the midst of a multi-step procedure may complete their treatment at the discretion of the Clinical Dean and be stable prior to dismissal. A dismissed patient will be allowed emergency care for 30 days from the date of dismissal and will be given a referral to another provider.

All Clinics Dismissal

  • A patient who exhibits drug seeking behavior, sexual or other forms of prohibited harassment, and/or use of abusive or derogatory language will be dismissed from all clinics. In the instance where the dismissed patient has a pet being seen at the Companion Animal Clinic, that pet will be dismissed from that clinic.
  • In the instance that the dismissed patient has a minor child and/or spouse being seen at a clinic, that minor child and/or spouse will be dismissed from the clinic.
  • A patient may be dismissed for failure to meet all financial obligations.

Appeal of Dismissal

Patients may appeal their dismissal to the appropriate Clinical Director, the Dean of the College, or their designee for discussion and resolution. The Dean of the College will notify the Chief Academic Officer (CAO) immediately of a patient’s appeal referral. If the dismissal is upheld, patients are informed that they may appeal to the Chief Academic Officer of the respective college or clinic involved in the dismissal.
