Memo to Our Patients Regarding New Electronic Health Records System
In an effort to continue to improve your quality of care, Atlanta Allergy & Asthma Clinic is in the process of transitioning to electronic health records (EHR). We recognize the value of your time and ask for your patience as our dedicated staff integrates EHR into our practice a few offices at a time.
We also ask for your assistance in the following ways:
For your first visit after November 1, 2011, whether it is for allergy injections or an office visit to see the doctor, please bring your current insurance card and current photo ID with you. These items must be rescanned into the new system. It is important that you present your current card to ensure your claims are filed properly.
You will also be asked for additional personal information that we currently do not capture. This information is necessary for us to meet government-established guidelines for our electronic medical record system. The required information will include race, ethnicity, primary language, and employer.
Your efforts will benefit you, our staff and physicians by providing valuable information that will help us continue to provide advanced, quality care.
Thank you,
Physicians and Staff of AAAC
