Necessary Forms to Bring
Please bring insurance information or current medical cards and
driver's license with you to
the appointment. The information that follows should answer many of
your questions about your appointment. Do not hesitate to call
with any questions and/or concerns that are not addressed below.
What to Expect
Bringing children and infants with you is discouraged as appointments
can be lengthy and patient-physician discussions can be complex.
If children will be coming with you, someone else must accompany
you to watch the children during your appointment. Your visit will
usually take 1-2 hours. Unless otherwise instructed, there is no
special preparation for your appointments.
In the Maternal-Fetal Diagnostic Center, a nurse will complete a history form
about your current and past pregnancies, medical and surgical information, and
the family health histories of both you and the baby's father. It may be helpful
if you prepare a list of this information and any questions/concerns before coming
for your appointment. Please bring along all medications you are presently taking
and a list of any allergies you have.
The doctor who referred you has already been asked to send copies of all appropriate
medical records, laboratory tests, and x-ray and sonogram reports. However, if
you see any other doctors, please obtain copies of their records and bring them
with you. The more information you and your doctor provide, the more timely,
thorough, and complete your visit will be.
After completing your history information, a complete ultrasound (sonogram) examination
will be done. This examination will be performed by a registered diagnostic sonographer
(RDMS) and a maternal-fetal medicine subspecialists (a physician whose specialty
is high-risk pregnancies). Services of the maternal-fetal medicine subspecialist
include ultrasound performance, consultation, interpretation/diagnosis, recommendations,
and related testing procedures.
Payment
Co-pays are expected on the day of the visit. Separate billings
will be submitted for physician services by the physician you will see - Maternal-Fetal Medicine Associates,
S.C., and from OSF Saint Francis Medical Center for the ultrasound.
Insurance
It is not possible for us to know what your individual insurance policy covers.
It is important and advisable that you contact your insurance carrier regarding
your coverage prior to your visit. Confidentiality: The information in your medical
record is confidential. Other than your referring doctor, we will not divulge
any information without your written permission.
Thank you for allowing us to participate in your care. We look forward to working
with you to achieve the best possible outcome for you and your pregnancy.
