What To Bring To Your Appointment

As a general rule, the more information you bring to your appointment the better it will help us give you a diagnosis, prognosis and the best recommendations for treatment.

Items to remember to bring:

X-ray, MRI, CT, & Arthrogram Films and Reports

You will need to obtain any recent x-rays, MRIs, CTs, and Arthrogram films and reports that relate to the problem that will be evaluated at your visit. Please bring these films and reports yourself, as it is often difficult for others to get us the x-rays and reports before your appointment.

Some offices or hospitals may give you a disc instead of printed films. Bringing this disc is fine because we are able to view your films and reports in our computer system.

Medical Records

Please obtain and bring with you a copy of your medical records related to your visit with Dr. Todd.

Surgical Report

If you have had a previous surgery related to your visit with Dr. Todd, we need to have the most recent operative report so that we know what type of surgery you have had.

Referral

If required by your insurance carrier, obtain a referral from your primary care physician and bring it with you.

Insurance Card

Bring your insurance card. We will need to make a copy of the card for your records.

Photo ID

Bring a photo ID (driver’s license, passport, state-issued ID card, etc.).

Co-pay

  • You insurance may require a co-pay that must be paid at the time of your visit. Please bring some form of payment. We accept cash, check, MasterCard, Visa, and Discover.
  • A financial policy form must be completed each calendar year. You can download this form here if you would like to complete it before your appointment.
  • You will need to complete a medical questionnaire for any of the following reasons:
    • If this is your first appointment
    • If it is an appointment for a new problem not previously evaluated in the office
    • If you have not been seen in this office for more than a year
    • You can download a copy of the medical questionnaire here and complete it before your visit.

Workers Compensation

    If this is a work-related injury:

  • Please bring a copy of the first report of your injury including your claim number.
  • Bring any x-rays or reports that relate to this injury.
    • If, for any reason, workers’ compensation contests or denies your claim we can submit the charges to your health insurance only if you have followed their rules and have obtained a referral, if required.
    • If workers’ compensation denies your claim and you have not provided us with your health insurance information or followed the guidelines of your policy, you are responsible for all charges.
    • Additional information regarding workplace related injuries can be found here.
