Your appointment can be made by calling our office or you can use our secure Patient Portal. Current patients who wish to use the patient portal for the first time should call our office for log in instructions and patient information.

New Patients

Please remember to bring a valid photo ID, your insurance card, and all current prescription bottles to your appointment.

We also encourage new patients to contact their insurance company in advance to verify that VitalCare Family Practice is in-network and to update their Primary Care Provider (PCP)to the VitalCare provider they will be seeing for primary care.

If your visit is for a service outside of primary care and you have an HMO or EPO plan, please obtain an insurance referral prior to your appointment. Ensuring your PCP is updated and obtaining the insurance referral will help prevent any coverage issues or billing discrepancies.

Lastly, please complete the Patient Registration Forms before your visit. You can text us at 804.256.8282 to request a digital copy prior to your first appointment

Nuevos pacientes

Por favor, recuerde traer una identificación con foto válida, su tarjeta de seguro y todos los frascos de receta actuales a su cita.

También recomendamos que los pacientes nuevos contacten a su compañía de seguros con anticipación para verificar que VitalCare Family Practice esté dentro de la red y para actualizar su Proveedor de Atención Primaria (PCP) al proveedor de VitalCare que verá para atención primaria.

Si su visita es para un servicio fuera de la atención primaria y tiene un plan HMO o EPO, por favor obtenga una referencia de seguro antes de su cita. Asegurarse de que su PCP esté actualizado y obtener la referencia de seguro ayudará a prevenir problemas de cobertura o discrepancias en la facturación.

Por último, complete los formularios de registro de pacientes antes de su visita. Puede enviarnos un mensaje de texto al 804.256.8282 para solicitar una copia digital antes de su primera cita.
