VISIT WITH YOUR DOCTOR FROM THE COMFORT and SAFETY OF HOME

In order to reduce your potential for exposure to the Coronavirus while making sure that you don’t experience a delay in care, we are offering our established patients the option of a Televisit. This is an opportunity to visit with your doctor by phone rather than in a face-to-face encounter. The only equipment required is a telephone, either mobile or landline. Simply call and let us know that you want to change an existing appointment to a Televisit or that you would like to schedule a Televisit. You will be given a date and time to expect a call. During the call you can discuss any concerns you may have as well as order refills for most prescription drugs. This option is available for our Sheffield, Greenhill and Express Care patients.


SCHEDULE A TELEVIST WITH YOUR PROVIDER

Sheffield Office Televisits - 256-383-4447

Greenhill Office Televisits - 256-272-8066

Express Care Televisits - 256-386-7774


This is a billable visit that is covered by Medicare and Blue Cross.



Important Information About COVID-19


The health and safety of all patients is our number one priority.


As of today, no cases of COVID-19 (coronavirus) have been identified at our facilities. Still, out of an abundance of caution, we are adding several procedures designed to protect you and those you love, including temperature checks, designated “well waiting areas,” and additional disinfecting techniques to name a few.


If you are experiencing fever of 100.5 or greater, cough, or shortness of breath, or if you suspect that you have been exposed to the coronavirus, call our office at 256-383-4447 for assistance. Please, DO NOT come to our office or any other health care location until you have spoken, by phone, to a health care provider.


This information applies also for Medical Associates of the Shoals at Greenhill, as well as for Express Care of the Shoals.
