Patient Information

  • Access Patient Portal

    Our patient portal allows new patients to register themselves into the system and allows all our patients access to communicate securely with our office through their own personalized link.

    This is where patients may also fill out information, sign legal documents, fill out forms, view records, and more.

    Access the Patient Portal

  • New Patient Packet

    If you are new to our practice, Welcome!  Please note that you can use our patient portal to complete the new patient information that helps us expedite the process of establishing you as a new patient. However, if you prefer the paper option, please print the New Patient Packet, fill it out, and bring it with you to your first appointment. If you can't print it out, then don't worry!  Just be sure to show up 30 minutes before your first appointment to complete the paperwork then.

    Also, please bring a list of all current medications and dosage.

It is the patient's responsibility to make sure our practice is in-network with their insurance prior to making an appointment.

  • Payment

    • All co-payments, coinsurance and deductibles are due and payable at the time of service, regardless of who brings the patient in for the appointment. Sitters, grandparents, divorced parents, etc., must be prepared to pay at the time of service.
    • Our offices accept cash, checks, debit cards, Discover, MasterCard, and VISA. We reserve the right to assess a service charge to accounts that require multiple billing for co-payments.
    • There is a $35 service charge for returned checks. We reserve the right to report returned checks to the Madison County District Attorney's Worthless Check Unit. If we receive two returned checks, we will only accept cash or credit card as payment for future balances.
    • If you fail to meet financial obligations agreed upon in this financial policy or other payment arrangements made with Tennessee Valley Neurological Associates PC, your outstanding balance will be sent to a collection agency, and you will be required to pay the entire amount plus any collection agency fees before being scheduled for any further appointments.

    • Bring your insurance card to each visit and notify us of any changes.
    • Know your co-payment amount and be prepared to pay this amount at each visit.
    • Know your insurance company benefits (physical exam coverage, diagnostic testing co-payment amounts and pre-certification requirements, etc.)
    • If you are enrolled in a Managed Care Insurance Plan (HMO) it is your responsibility to obtain or ensure a referral is supplied to our office from your primary care physician prior to the time of your appointment. Without this referral, you cannot be seen by our physicians.

    If you insurance coverage through a plan that we do not participate with, our office is happy to file the claim for you upon request as a courtesy. However, you are responsible for payment in full at the time of service and you will be reimbursed upon payment being received from your insurance company in the event that the payment is not made directly to you. Also, we file secondary insurance claims as a courtesy. If your secondary insurance has not paid within 60 days of our first filing, you automatically become responsible for the balance of unpaid charges.
