Outpatient surgery will be scheduled through an appointment with your family physician or any of the consulting specialists. Your physician may schedule certain diagnostic procedures such as surgeon consultation, lab tests, x-ray, EKG, etc. The pre-surgical work-up will also include a visit with the surgery/anesthesia staff for a health history and detailed instruction regarding your particular procedure. Please allow time in your schedule for this preliminary work. This allows us to provide you the best possible care.

To assure maximum benefits are received, our staff can work with Medicare/Medicaid or your insurance company concerning pre-surgical requirements. Please contact Delores Bragg (660-385-8732) with your coverage information as soon as you know surgery is needed. If payment arrangements are necessary, contact the patient accounts department.
