General Patient Information

For new patients, please bring State or Federal picture ID (such as driver's license, military ID, or passport) and all insurance cards to your first office visit. For established patients, remember to give us new insurance cards any time your insurance coverage changes. (We canot be responsible for any denial of payment for late filing of your insurance claim if you fail to notify us of a change in your insurance.) If your insurance requires a referral to a specialist, please have your primary care physician send the referral to us prior to your visit.

If you recently have had x-rays, MRIs, or other imaging tests done, please bring those films or CD with you. Radiology reports by themselves will not be very helpful. If you cannot bring your recent imaging tests, Dr. Parr may have to take x-rays during your appointment. Thus, bringing recent imaging studies to your first appointment may help reduce your appointment costs.

To speed up your check-in at your first office visit, you may download the required PATIENT FORMS, complete them, and fax to (281) 491-0033 in advance of your appointment date. Please also fax a copy of your insurance card(s) front and back at the same time.

We recommend you also keep a personal copy of the Current Medication Record in your billfold or purse at all times for quick reference or in case of emergency. Remember to update it any time there is a change.

For after-hours orthopedic emergencies, Dr. Parr prefers you call him directly at 281-491-7111 or 713-954-1343. He may be able to help you get treatment faster and save you an expensive ER bill.
