Scheduling & Visits

What Are The Restrictions On Virtual Doctor's Visits?

You may attend our virtual visits regardless of your location.  We can also connect with you by phone or virtually using our secure video channel.  

Email Etiquette

Clients have unlimited email contact with our team.  However, if an email question or request is deemed by one of our staff to be too complicated or involved for a response via email they may, at their discretion, require that the member schedule a phone, telemedicine or in person visit instead of responding via email.

Scheduling & Cancellations

Please note that office hours are by appointment only. However, we understand that there is no way to predict the urgent health matters life may throw your way, so we make time in our schedule to accommodate same day and urgent appointments.

Please call before coming in, and set a realistic time so that you can make it on time. When requesting an appointment for an urgent matter, you should CALL the office at (217) 431-2010. Please do not email us for same-day appointments as we cannot guarantee you a timely response.

We will always do our best to accommodate you.

We strive to provide excellent care to all of our clients. In order to do so effectively and efficiently, our appointment system sets asides ample time for you.  “No-shows”, and late cancellations inconvenience those individuals who need access to  care in a timely manner.

We understand that changes occur and you may need to reschedule or cancel and appointment.  We ask that you call us at your earliest convenience to notify us of any changes.  

 

Billing & Insurance

We Are Not A Conventional Primary Care Physician

For many of our clients, we can take the place of a primary care physician. Because you can message us online during business hours, we are often able to take care of acute requests. 

It is important to note the following however:

1. We do not fulfill an insurance company’s requirement for an in network primary care physician as we are not in-network with any insurance plan.

2. We are not available for same-day emergency appointments.

3. We do not have a 24-hour answering service and do not take calls on weekends. If you need to be seen urgently or have a medical emergency you would need to visit an ER or urgent care center.
