THE FIRST STEP
What you should do FIRST :

If you would like to download Acrobat® Reader to view PDF documents please click here
- PATIENT REGISTRATION Forms
- Please read the Patient Policies that are included in the Patient Registration Forms that you have already downloaded from the above link and printed.
- BARIATRIC EVALUATION FORMS - Answering All The Questions
- You must answer all of the questions in this form.
If the question does not pertain to you, simply write "N/A" (not applicable). - Weight Loss Surgery depends on how much detail you provide. If needed, use extra paper to describe your symptoms, weight loss attempts and medical history.
- NEW PATIENT GUIDEBOOK
- The enclosed New Patient Guidebook also tells you step-by-step how to maneuver through the pre-operative process efficiently. By following these steps, you will help speed up your evaluation and approvals for the Medical, Bariatric, Psychological, and Nutritional portions of your preparation for surgery.
- WE ALSO NEED A COPY OF YOUR HEALTH INSURANCE CARD (front and back)
- INSURANCE AUTHORIZATION FOR HMO PATIENTS -If you are an HMO patient, we will need to receive a copy of the AUTHORIZATION for your consultation.
- Our office staff will help in obtaining authorization but we must receive a referral form from your primary care provider (either FAX or mail).
In order to facilitate your paperwork processing, please send your completed forms and copies by mail to our address :
