How to schedule an appointment

 

We see patients by appointment only and all minors must be accompanied by a custodial parent or guardian. You may either make an appointment with us directly ("self-referral"), or you may ask your primary care physician to make a referral. Please check with your insurance provider to see if you need a referral from your primary care physician prior to visiting us. If you are referred to our care by another physician, we will inform that physician of your condition and treatment plan.

To schedule an appointment, please call (317) 926-9117 today. We are open Monday through Friday 9:00 am to 5:00 pm. Your calls are important to us, and we will try to accommodate you as promptly and thoroughly as possible.

We understand the urgency of your health needs, so we are committed to seeing all patients as quickly as possible. If you are not able to keep a scheduled appointment, please try to notify us at least 24 hours in advance or as soon as possible. This will allow us to schedule another patient in your time slot. We will do our best to stay on schedule; however, occasionally patient emergencies do occur, so please be patient if such situations arise that may cause you to wait.

 

Preparing for your appointment

 

All new patients are required to complete our patient registration forms. You may download them from this website, so that you can complete them in the privacy of your home. Completing these forms prior to your first visit ensures that your information is as thorough and accurate as possible, and also allows you to see Dr. Yekinni as close to your appointment time as possible. Your signature on these patient registration forms also authorizes us to complete insurance forms for you.

 

What to bring to your appointment

 

Each time you visit our office, please bring the following:

• List of both prescription and over-the-counter medications you are currently taking. Please include both the dosage and frequency of usage. Be sure to also include a list of supplements and/or vitamins.
• List of observations about your condition, as well as any information about your medical/surgical history
• Your insurance card
• Physician referral forms, if necessary
• Any lab results or tests (like MRI, EEG, CT and so on) pertinent to your condition.

 

Insurance

 

Dr Yekinni is a provider for Medicare and most major insurance plans. We will provide insurance billing. Anything not covered by insurance will be the responsibility of the patient or guardian.

Please be advised that healthcare coverage varies widely. As such, please contact your healthcare provider to see if you require a referral from your primary care physician prior to being seen at Dr. Yekinni's office. Our staff can assist you in obtaining a referral from your primary care physician. If a referral is required but has not yet been received by the day of your appointment at Dr. Yekinni's, we may have to reschedule your appointment until a proper referral is obtained.

Each time you visit our office for an appointment, please be sure to bring your insurance card and advise us of any changes in your healthcare plan, name, address, phone number, and any other pertinent information.
