Primary Care is an essential part of overall health. Patients who receive regular in-home medical care are more likely to have their current health problems addressed in a timely manner and potentially avoid further medical issues than those who do not receive such care. Each visit includes an in-depth examination and individualized treatment plan, which is monitored and adjusted through routine follow-up visits. The primary care provider will deliver your ongoing care and will recommend specialty services as needed.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I keep my current primary care provider?
No. To prevent redundant or conflicting care, your Atlas Medical provider will serve as the only designated primary care provider. Atlas will collaborate with your previous providers to ensure that we have a complete understanding of your medical history.
How often will I be seen by my Atlas provider?
On average, patients are seen once every 4-6 weeks. Atlas providers coordinate care by managing medications and communicating with family and specialists. They also see their patients for urgent needs.
Does Atlas Medical see patients every time they are in my community?
The decision to see a patient is made by the individual provider at each visit to the community. Even if the patient is stable, the provider may follow up with chronic conditions and medication changes or emphasize active prevention of possible complications at each visit. The provider may also work with caregivers and staff to identify any changes in health conditions.
How can I communicate with my Atlas provider or my patient care coordinator?
To communicate with the members of your care team, you may call our office.
After office hours and on weekends, our on-call provider is available to provide telephone triage for our patients.
Does Atlas Medical take Medicare?
Yes, we accept Medicare. We also accept many commercial insurance plans and self-pay methods.
