COVID-19 Precautions
We are taking several measures to halt the spread of COVID-19. Due to the nature of our practice, we have many patients with significant respiratory disease and compromised immune systems. We care about your health. We appreciate your understanding. Here are a just some of the steps we are taking to help our community stay safe during these challenge times:
We are rescheduling any patient who has symptoms consistent with COVID-19 or who are still in quarantine after an exposure to COVID-19 or from a recent illness. We will reschedule any patient who may be infectious to others.
All AAA staff are vaccinated and have received booster vaccinations for the COVID-19 virus.
All AAA staff are currently being tested weekly and are all monitored closely for symptoms of COVID-19 while the positivity rate in our community is high.
All AAA staff wear N95 or KN95 masks while at work.
We require that all individuals wear face coverings while in our offices, and we prefer patients also wear N95 or NK95 masks.
We have added HEPA filters in every patient room and in our waiting rooms
We offer telemedicine visits for patients who are not comfortable or appropriate for in office visits.
Allergy shot patients are still required to wait 30 min after their allergy shots. However, they can talk to our staff to see if they are eligible for waiting in alternative waiting locations and or making other accommodations for their wait.
We strongly recommend all our patients receive vaccinations for COVID-19 – Please talk to your provider if you need help making informed decisions about the data on safety and efficacy of COVID-19 vaccinations.
Allergy Shot Patients
In an effort to keep current with guidelines for COVID-19 prevention, we are limiting our allergy shots to BY APPOINTMENT ONLY and are scheduled through your patient portal. Masks are required. Please come with only one caregiver if needed.
Due to the ongoing situation with COVID 19 we may at times have to update our schedules. We thank you for your support and patience and ask that you check our website regularly.
If you have not received an allergy injection for an extended period of time and are unsure of your current dosing schedule, please contact our lab supervisor for an update. We will do our best to return you to your previous schedule.
As a reminder, our last few appointments of the day have firm arrival times. Late patients will not be given a shot if they arrive after their scheduled appointment, especially near the near the end of the day. Please allow for traffic and parking needs. Plan to arrive 5 min before your scheduled shot appointment so that you are not turned away.
Our staff will accommodate late arriving allergy shot patients by either 1) offering another appointment time that day or 2) rescheduling their appointment to another day. If you have arrived after we have closed or arrive late for your allergy shot, we will not be able to give you one that day. Also, if your personal schedule has changed or if our hours of operation are not in alignment with yours, please talk to our staff about alternative sites of care for you to receive your serum from Allergy and Asthma Associates.
Important Reminders for New Patients
Please review the following reminders prior to coming in for your new patient appointment:
If scheduling online please note we only schedule one person per family, per day.
A credit card or deposit is required for any out-of-pocket expenses, such as copay, co-insurance or deductible amounts. Please contact our office PRIOR to your appointment for a list of billing codes in order that you may determine plan coverage and patient responsibility. You are responsible for providing payment at the time of service.
Most initial appointments last approximately 2 hours. We have allocated time for allergy skin testing. If medically possible, please refrain from taking antihistamines (including over-the-counter and/or prescribed pills, creams, nasal sprays, and eye drops) to have the testing completed at your initial visit. Ask your pharmacist if your current medications are antihistamines or contact our office.
If you need to cancel or change this appointment, we require 48 hours notice. Please speak to one of our receptionists to confirm your appointment has been cancelled. By providing notice, you avoid being charged the $100 missed appointment/late cancellation fee.
Please confirm with your insurance company PRIOR to your appointment if there is a preferred lab in the event that lab work is ordered by your provider. You will be asked to provide this information at check in.
Please complete your new patient paperwork PRIOR to your appointment. This greatly reduces the time required to properly register you as a patient and helps us see you on time.
Please contact our office if you have any questions, are unable to refrain from taking antihistamines or need assistance registering for the patient portal to access your paperwork.
Thank you and we look forward to meeting you.
