Patient resources at Cardiovascular Care, P.A.

Your First Visit

Please arrive about 15 minutes before your appointment so we have time to check you in. Plan on being with us for around an hour for a first visit — longer if testing is scheduled the same day.

What to bring

  • Your insurance card and a photo ID
    We copy these at check-in. Bring your current card even if nothing has changed.
  • A complete list of your medications
    Include the dose and how often you take each one, plus any vitamins, supplements and over-the-counter medicines. Bringing the bottles themselves is perfectly fine.
  • Any recent heart records you have
    EKGs, stress tests, echocardiograms, catheterization reports or hospital discharge papers from another provider. These save you from repeating tests.
  • Someone with you, if it helps
    You are welcome to bring a family member or friend to help you remember what we discuss and to ask questions.
  • Your referral, if your plan requires one
    Some insurance plans require a referral from your primary care provider before they will cover a cardiology visit. Check with your plan if you are unsure.
Filling out your new patient forms before you arrive is the single best way to shorten your wait — see Patient Forms below. If you need to cancel or reschedule, please call the office as early as you can so we can offer the time to another patient.
