PRIMARY CARE OF SOUTHWEST GA, INC.

PATIENT CENTERED MEDICAL HOME (PCMH)

 

medical home is an approach to providing total health care. With your medical home, you will join a team that includes health care professionals, trusted family members and —most importantly—YOU!  The medical home is a way for you to be informed and involved in your health care decisions.

 

How YOUR medical home can help you….

Assistance with referrals

If you need to see a specialist, your team can keep in touch with the specialist to make sure you get the care you need. It is extremely important for us to know all the care you have received at any facility.

 

Track your health information using computers and electronic records

This way, your team will have all of your records in one place.

 

Reach your team when you need them

Your team will have convenient office hours for your appointments. They also offer you the option of using e-mail and the Internet to keep in touch, get lab reports, and answer your questions.

 

Get to know your team

Your medical home team will know you and your family. They can help you manage your total health care. You can see the same team each time you visit for scheduled appointments, and they can help answer your health questions. Your team uses evidenced based guidelines and support in all aspects of your care.

Nurse Advice Line: Most all insurance companies/Medicaid and Medicare have Nurse Advice Lines.  Please consult with these services to determine if your after hour’s situation needs immediate attention or may wait until the next day for one of our Same Day Appointments. If this service is available to you, we highly recommend you seek this advice. Avoiding unnecessary ER/Urgent care visits is in your best interest as these providers do not know your medical history, medications and the specialist involved in your care.

 

ER/Urgent Care: If care is given at the ER or an Urgent Care, please contact Primary Care’s clinical staff with the details of your visit. You may contact us via the portal or telephone. This information will assist us in maximizing the continuity and quality of your care.
