NON-MEDICAL, PERSONALIZED SERVICES
The Patient shall have direct telephone access to Dr. Pam with the following non-medical services, which are complementary to those patients on the membership plan.
After-Hours Access:
The Patient shall have direct telephone access to Dr. Pam or Nicole (whoever is on call for the week) 24 hours per day, seven days per week. The patient shall be given a phone number to reach us directly for guidance regarding concerns that arise unexpectedly after office hours. Video chat and text messaging may be utilized when appropriate.
E-Mail Access:
The patient shall be given Dr. Pam’s e-mail address to which non-urgent communications can be addressed. Such communications shall be dealt with by Dr. Pam in a timely manner. The Patient understands and agrees that e-mail and the internet should never be used to access medical care in the event of an emergency, or any situation that the patient could reasonably expect may develop into an emergency. You should agree that in such situations when the patient cannot speak to Dr. Pam immediately by telephone, that the patient shall call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room, seek medical assistance, and follow the directions of emergency medical personnel.
Texting is always better than emailing because we see your text right away.
Email is not an efficient method of communication.
Appointments:
Reasonable effort shall be made to assure that the patient is seen by the the practice as soon as possible after arriving for a scheduled office visit. If we foresee more than a minimal wait time, the patient shall be contacted and advised of the projected wait time. Every reasonable effort shall be made to schedule an appointment with Dr. Pam and Nicole on the same or next normal business day. Visits deemed urgent by the patient after hours will be accommodated as best as possible.
Specialist Coordination
Dr. Pam, Nicole, and Anita will coordinate with medical specialists to whom the patient is referred to assist the patient in obtaining specialty care. The patient understands that fees paid under this health-care membership do not include and do not cover specialist’s fees or fees due to any medical professionals other than Coastal Care Primary Care.
