Important Information for Greater Family Health Patients Regarding Visits and Services

Starting May 21st, 2020, Greater Family Health will summarize several services and processes that were paused at the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. Please see below for information regarding these changes.

1] Laboratory results. Laboratory results will be provided only via Face-to-Face or Virtual Visits or via Patient Portal communication. The only laboratory results that may be shared with a patient by a practitioner via a telephone call are COVID-19 nasal swab or serological testing results, abnormal INR and Normal PAP Smear (for which a letter is sent to the patient).
2] Non-urgent visits are available and can be scheduled for Face-to-Face Visits, including:
  • Elective procedures such as removal of skin tags and warts.
  • Women's Wellness Exams / PAP smears in those with a prior negative test.
  • Well-child visits, with or without immunizations.
3] Prescriptions and refills. We are resuming prescriptions and refills via a Virtual Visit or Face-to-Face appointment. Patients will be prescribed a quantity of medications sufficient to last the patient until their next Virtual or Face-to-Face appointment. There are some situations where a 90-day prescription is the norm (specifically, psychiatry and chronic disease).
4] Paperwork visits. Face-to-Face or Virtual Visits for paperwork-focused purposes are available for patients. Disability forms, FMLA and work clearance forms can be completed and communicated with a patient as a result of a Visit.

Greater Family Health’s OB department continues to operate as it always has.

Starting June 5th, 2020, appointments at our Dental Clinic are no longer restricted. Dental health services are returning to normal with appointments for school dental exams, cleanings, sealants, fillings, and many more services becoming available with regular appointments. Click here to learn more about the Dental Clinic services and schedule an appointment by calling 844-599-3700.

Patients entering our Health Centers are still required to wear a face mask which will be provided by Greater Family Health at no charge. COVID-19 nasal testing will remain sequestered to an isolated portion of each Health Center.

For everyone’s safety, we are continuing to ask that you come to your appointment alone or only with one caregiver if necessary. Any additional persons may not be allowed in the examination room.
