Dear New Patients,
Welcome to Watkins Allergy and Asthma Clinic! We are genuinely pleased that you have
chosen us for your allergy and asthma care. Our practice realizes the importance of referrals and
we value them greatly. We are always excited to see new faces coming through our door!
At your first appointment, your doctor will complete a comprehensive examination. This
includes a complete review of your medical history, all necessary blood/lab work, medications,
previous allergy/asthma testing, x-rays and breathing test.
If your appointment includes allergy testing, we request you refrain from taking any
antihistamine medication for 4 – 5 days prior to your appointment. However, please continue any
asthma medications. If skin testing is performed, your visit could last up to two and a half hours,
so please plan accordingly. Following this appointment and testing, your doctor will discuss the
findings with you and develop a treatment plan that you are comfortable with.
If you have health insurance, be sure to provide all requested information prior to your
appointment to assist us in the benefit verification process. Payment is expected at the time of the
first visit. If you have any questions about finances please feel free to ask us at any time.
Please be prepared for your appointment by:
bringing in any pertinent medical records
bringing all medicines or a list of all medicines, including dosage
completing the enclosed new patient questionnaire
refraining from taking any antihistamine medications for 4 – 5 days prior to your testing
appointment.
DO NOT stop your Asthma medications
We ask that you make every effort to keep your appointments. If you need to reschedule your
appointment, please call us at least 24 hours prior to your visit.
We very much appreciate your confidence in us and look forward to meeting with you!
Sincerely,
Dr. Raquel Watkins

Financial Policy
Dear Patient/ Patient Guardian,
Thank you for choosing Watkins Allergy & Asthma Clinic for your health care needs. Our primary concern is centered
on you, our patient, and that you receive the proper care needed to restore your health. Our financial policy is a necessary
part of assuring the financial resources required to maintain the vital health care facility for our patients and our
community. Therefore, we ask that you please read the following and sign prior to having your appointment.
Payments are due at the time services are rendered, unless prior arrangements have been made with our billing
department. Co-payments and deductibles are due at the time services are rendered. We gladly accept cash, checks
and for your convenience, we accept all major credit cards. All returned checks are subject to a $25.00 returned check
fee.
Please ensure that we have a copy of your most current insurance card on file, and that if any changes occur with your
insurance that we are notified immediately. This will ensure that we have acquired the proper authorization required by
your health care plan, to perform your procedure. It is important that you understand we view your insurance as a contract
between you, your employer and the insurance company, therefore, we cannot become involved in disputes between you
and your insurance company regarding deductibles, co-payments, covered charges, etc. Our services are rendered to
you, not your insurance company.
We participate in many different health plans and programs and currently accept assignment with Medicare, and
participate with most managed care plans. Also, not all services are a covered benefit. Please be aware of your benefit
package with your insurance company. Any charges not paid by your insurance company are solely your
responsibility. We file secondary insurances as a courtesy. If your secondary insurance fails to remit payment within
60 days, we require you to pay the remaining balance.
Patient statements are mailed monthly. Please pay promptly upon receiving statement. All outstanding balances older
than 90 days will be subject to review and forwarded to our collection department where an additional $25.00 collection
fee will be added to the account balance and forwarded to the Credit Bureau. We understand that temporary financial
problems may affect timely payment. We encourage you to contact our billing department to make arrangements.
Again, thank you for choosing us for your health care needs, and we appreciate the opportunity to serve you.
