New Patient & Established Patient OAAC Guidelines Beginning May 11th

BEGINNING MAY 11th – Oklahoma Allergy & Asthma Clinic will revert back to ALL in person patient appointments.
All patients are required to wear their own cloth or medical masks into the clinics when arriving for appointments. Due to supply chain issues, OAAC will not be able to provide masks to patients. 

• To limit your time in our office:
  Please pre-check in on Phreesia (our electronic patient system). Your notice will arrive via email and text one week prior to your appointment and;
  when you arrive for your appointment, please call 405-235-0040, using option 1, to pay your co-pay prior to entering the building.
  Call 405-235-0040, select “1” for the Business Office for questions or if you need to update any information to ensure you have the opportunity to pre-check in.
• If you are a part of a high risk group you can request ahead of time to have your appointment via telemedicine.
• In order to reduce the spread of COVID-19, OAAC is asking that adult patients do not bring guests and minor patients are only accompanied by one adult.
• OAAC providers and co-workers are wearing their appropriate PPE. 
• Following CDC guidelines, everyone will be prescreened as they enter our clinics.
