Please contact our office at the first indication that you may be running late. We will make every effort to work with you-- however, please be advised that you may be asked to reschedule.
You will be asked for your insurance card, driver’s license and co-pay. Failure to do so may result in your appointment being rescheduled. If you are new to the practice, please bring your completed paperwork downloaded from our website (visit the Patient Forms tab on our website) and any office notes or test results from your referring physician. If you are unable to download paperwork, that is okay. You will fill them out in the office, just make sure to get here 15 minutes before your appointment to allow yourself enough time to finish the paperwork.

At Capital Women's Care D.C., we have 12 highly qualified medical providers.
Federal and State law requires the patient's signature, or that of an authorized personal representative, to release or transfer medical records. The patient records are defined as all records that relate to the health of the patient and are prepared by or under supervision of a health care provider associated with Capital Women's Care. We maintain the patient's rights that all medical records are kept confidential according to all federal and state laws. Please note that in some cases, a fee will be charged for medical record copies. The medical record department will be happy to provide you information about fees, expected turnaround times and other information related to your request. Patients that provide records from another physician, outside of CWC, are encouraged to retain their own copy as Capital Women's Care cannot provide a copy. Please visit the Forms page on our website to download the proper forms.
Prescription refills will be processed only for established patients who have been seen within the past 12 months. Your physician will review your chart and the refill will be called in directly to your pharmacy, within 48 business hours of receipt. If your physician feels an office visit is necessary before a refill can be given, you will be notified by phone. One additional month of refill birth control pills can be called in for established patients. This will allow time to schedule an annual visit.
This varies, but you can expect to be here anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour and a half. This is due to possible shifting of patient needs while they are in their appointments with the doctor. Obstetrics and gynecology often involves emergency procedures, surgical delays, and deliveries. We ask that you bear this in mind when you come for your visit, because our providers want to take care of all of our patients in the best way they can.
Yes, our team of providers is happy to offer second opinions.
A nurse practitioner (NP) is a registered nurse (RN) who has additional education and training in a specialty area, such as family practice or OBGYN. Nurse practitioners (also referred to as advanced practice nurses, or APNs) have a master's degree in nursing (MS or MSN) and board certification in their specialty. They are able to treat illnesses and write prescriptions without a physician present.
Your health insurance contract requires that you be responsible for payment of co-pay fees at the time of the visit. Please bring a form of payment with you for each of your visits.
If you are uninsured, we will still be able to treat you. There are payment options available for self-pay patients. If you are making your appointment, please ask our telephone operators about what services you might be paying for upon your visit. If you are in the office, please ask our front desk staff. However, these will just be estimates and the provider will ultimately decide what exams and tests they would like to conduct which could affect the overall price.
Prior to your visit, we encourage you to call the customer service telephone number located on your medical insurance member-ship card. There are many insurance policies offered by each insurance company. They can best provide co-pay amounts and verify coverage for services according to your specific policy.
