Office Policies

On your first visit to our office, our receptionist will ask you to complete patient information forms, including our Texas Cardiology Associates of Houston office policies. For your convenience, these forms are located under our patient forms tab to download, complete and bring prior to your appointment, or at the time of your appointment.

Please note the questions we ask will provide our staff with essential data on your health and medical history. You will also be asked questions concerning your contact, insurance and billing information. There may be times when we will need to contact you, so please provide us with complete information, including a cell number and email address. Periodically, you will be asked to update your patient file in order to help us provide the best care and service.

Texas Cardiology Associates of Houston office policies state that if your insurance company requires a referral for you to see a specialist, you will need to work with your primary care doctor to secure the referral number before you arrive at our office. Following this procedure will help you avoid delays in waiting once you arrive at our office.

Please be aware that if you arrive 15 minutes or later after your scheduled appointment, we have the right to cancel the appointment, and reschedule it at your convenience.
