Primary Health Warns Patients About Longer Waits For Urgent Care

The Treasure Valley Clinics said a prolonged illness season coupled with, "an ongoing shortage of healthcare workers" is causing the problem.

BOISE, Idaho — Primary Health Urgent Care clinics in the Treasure Valley are warning patients they could experience longer wait times. The clinics said the problem stems from a prolonged illness season and an ongoing worker shortage.

"We're seeing much less COVID and flu now, but plenty of cold viruses are still circulating," explained Physician Director of Urgent Care, Dr. Ann Weiss. "We're also starting to see some stomach flus, which are pretty common this time of year. When you combine these illness trends with routine physicals and drug screens, plus injury and workers compensation visits, it all adds up to a very busy urgent care setting."

Alecia Dobson, Chief Operating Officer stated the clinics are trying to ameliorate the problem. 

"We ask for feedback after every visit, and the number one complaint we've heard this spring is related to wait times in urgent care. We want our patients to know we hear them, and we're doing everything we can to make their wait as comfortable and short as possible. We provide water, coffee, phone chargers and WiFi in our lobbies, and also have patient transfer protocols when there's a nearby clinic with shorter wait times. Our staff are also feeling the effects of this busy season and we ask for everyone's patience and understanding during this time," she stated.

The clinics stated that people can do the following to help shorten wait times:

First, go online to www.PrimaryHealth.Com and reserve your urgent care visit before you come in to the clinic. Patients who booked online in April saw their wait times reduced by up to 20 minutes. 

Second, when possible, plan your urgent care visit for a Saturday or Sunday after 11 AM, or a weekday from 6 – 8 PM. Avoid peak times like Mondays, weekend mornings and weekdays around 5 PM. 

People can get more information and schedule appointments here.

You'll also commonly find that RCM companies include reporting, consultation, and EMR and PMS access with your services. Check for these features as you speak with company representatives. You should also determine whether the features that accompany your medical billing leave the company or your own team responsible for entering and coding charges. It's worth asking if your billing service candidates are following the most recent ICD-10 coding system updates.

advanced primary care of the ozarks :: Article Creator Integrating Rx With Advanced Primary Care Will Unlock Better Health America's healthcare industry has been squeezed tightly over the past few years with post-pandemic fallout, a declining economy and high consumer expectations. Retail pharmacies are no exception, and it's clear that the traditional pharmacy model is in crisis. With rising costs for medications and supplies and changing consumer retail habits, this doesn't bode well for the brick-and-mortar community pharmacy. Simply put: the traditional pharmacy model is unsustainable. We will soon see a rash of closing retail pharmacies and consumers scrambling to fill needed prescriptions affordably. You might be asking yourself why this should matter to you as HR and benefit professionals. I serve as chief human resources officer for a company that works with many large employers concerned about healthcare costs and the de...
