How to handle results, referrals and continuing care
Georgia, Alabama and Tennessee tips that can prevent wasted trips
Morning calls usually provide more options than waiting until late afternoon.
Your clinic may use North Atlanta Primary Care or another affiliated name.
Weekend availability is offered at selected locations, not throughout the network.
An in-house test and an outside reference laboratory may have different insurance costs.
Allow extra travel time for Midtown, Buckhead, Sandy Springs and Perimeter-area visits.
Save a screenshot because large medical buildings may contain several practices.
This avoids weekend and holiday processing delays.
FMLA, school, parking and employment documents may carry an administrative fee.
A late cancellation or no-show may result in a $25 patient charge.
