What to pack for the visit
- A government-issued photo identification.
- Your insurance card, if you have a plan, and a referral if your plan requires one.
- A written list of medicines, doses, and allergies.
- Reports, and discs or portals, for recent CT, MRI, ultrasound, or lab work.
- The questions you want to ask, written down so they are not lost in the room.
Insurance, in plain terms
We will look at the card you bring and help you understand what your plan requires for the visit, such as a referral. Coverage for a later procedure is a separate conversation once we know which treatment, if any, we are recommending. Because plans change, we will not list accepted insurers or dollar amounts here.
For practice-wide insurance information maintained by Advanced Urology, see advancedurology.com or ask us when you call 678-344-8900.
If you do not have insurance
You are still welcome to book a visit. Call 678-344-8900 and tell the scheduler, and we will explain the next step by phone. We will not quote dollar amounts on this page.
Before a planned procedure
If we have scheduled a procedure at the Sandy Springs or Snellville surgery center, we will give you written instructions about medicines, food, and a ride home. Bring your identification and insurance card to that day as well. If anything on the instruction sheet is unclear, call us before the procedure date rather than guessing.
Questions people ask
Do you take my insurance?
Bring the card, or read the plan name to us when you call. We will help you check. We do not keep a public list on this site, because it would go stale.
Will I know about a referral before I arrive?
If you already know your plan needs one, ask your primary-care office to send it, and tell us so we can look for it. If you are not sure, we will look at the card with you.
Do I have to bring old scans?
If you have them, yes. They save repeat testing when the images already answer the question.
Where do I find what a procedure will cost?
Not on this website. After we recommend a procedure, we will talk with you about how billing is handled. We do not publish dollar amounts here.
