Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What’s the difference between an acute visit and an emergency room visit?

Acute visits are for non-life-threatening conditions that need prompt attention, such as a fever, mild injury, or flu symptoms. Emergency rooms handle more severe or life-threatening conditions. We treat many issues that don’t require emergency care but still need quick intervention, allowing you to avoid unnecessary hospital visits.

Do I need to make an appointment for an acute visit?

We strongly recommend scheduling an appointment whenever possible. This helps us manage our schedule and ensure we’re prepared for your visit.

What should I do if I need urgent care after hours?

As a Direct Primary Care practice, we provide access to your healthcare provider even outside regular office hours. You can contact us directly to discuss your symptoms or needs, and we will guide you on how to proceed.

Are acute visits included in my membership?

Yes! All acute visits are included as part of your membership. There are no additional charges or co-pays for urgent care, which allows you to receive the care you need without any surprise bills.

What if I need a specialist for a more complex issue?

While we offer comprehensive family care for many conditions, if your issue requires specialized care, we’ll help refer you to trusted specialists in the Lehigh Valley or coordinate additional care as needed.
