Precision Primary & Acute Care is available in our practice, including short notice visits. This is both for pediatrics and adults, for conditions and issues that can safely and appropriately be treated via telemedicine.
Intro to Precision Primary and Acute Care
What types of treatments are available as part of Precision Primary and Acute Care?
- We can assess your condition or issue and recommend the best evidence-based treatment for your condition. Rarely, we may need you to go to a facility capable of seeing you in person. Most conditions can be managed via telemedicine, including complete primary care.
- We can prescribe medications with the following limitations:
- The only controlled substance we routinely prescribe is testosterone, and only in AZ, CA, KY, TN
- We do not recommend steroids for colds, back or neck pain, as there is evidence of harm, and no evidence of benefit in most cases (despite this being a common practice) - We can order labs through LabCorp, Quest, or any other lab, which generally should be covered by your insurance (please confirm at the lab before having any specimen drawn as we have cost effective cash pay options)
- We can order imaging which generally should be covered by your insurance
