COVID-19 Protocol
PANM CONTINUES TO SEE PATIENTS
Perinatal Associates of New Mexico continues to see patients with MINOR modifications to our process. As maternal-fetal medicine specialists, we always work closely with hospitals, laboratories and a variety of other agencies to care for pregnant patients throughout New Mexico. During the COVID-19 pandemic, we are implementing a variety of new policies and procedures to help ensure our ability to care for our patients.
WEAR A MASK
The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) still requires wearing a mask in all health care settings to protect yourself and others. Patients and Visitors are to wear masks during their whole visit to our office.
Per CDC recommendations, masks with valves or vents will not be allowed as it does not prevent the person wearing the mask from transmitting COVID-19.
TEMPORARY CHECK IN PROCESS
We understand patients may not desire to sit in a medical office waiting room at this time. We are implement the following check-in procedure:
- Patients will check-in from their car when they arrive in the parking lot by calling the office location of the visit.
- Cedar patients please use the physician’s office entrance.
