To Make An Appointment
Call (910) 678-7287 or (910) 678-7221
Your primary care doctor’s office should
call The Specialty Medicine Center to make
your first appointment to see the specialist.
This will allow us to understand the urgency of
the appointment and to be sure we have all the
necessary information at the time of your visit.
Follow-up appointments can be scheduled
either by you after the first appointment or by
your doctor’s office.
For Each Appointment,
Let Us Know…
- Do we have your correct address and
phone number?
- Do we have a work number to contact
you during the daytime?
- Has your insurance coverage changed?
Please bring your card each visit!
- What medicines are you taking?
Please bring bottles.
- Do you have any allergies?
Emergencies…
The specialists that you see in our facility are
not here all the time and are not available at SR-AHEC to
respond to emergencies. If you have a medical
emergency, call your regular doctor, call
911 or go to your nearest emergency
room. If your doctor or the emergency room
doctor needs information about your medical
condition, they can call our facility at (910)
678-7287 during the Center’s hours:
Monday – Friday from 8 a.m. – 5 p.m.
We will provide available information from
the record or we will attempt to contact the
specialist for information.
Prescription Refills…
Since the specialists are not in our facility all
the time, it is best for you to get medication
refills by calling your regular doctor. If that
is not possible, you may call our nurse at
(910) 678-7221 and she will tell you how to
contact the specialist. Please allow at least
two working days to contact the specialist
and for prescriptions to be refilled.
Payment for Services…
The bill for the specialist’s services may
come from Southern Regional AHEC, Duke
University or the University of North Carolina
(depending on which clinic you attend).
SR-AHEC, Duke and UNC will, as a courtesy
to you, file your insurance whenever possible.
Co-payments are expected at check in. If you have questions
about your bill from SR-AHEC, please call
our billing office at (910) 678-0101. |
