A Healthier You Wellness Center is now offering Primary Care for the un-insured or underinsured.

 

Medical care can be expensive. When you don’t have insurance, high out-of-pocket costs can make it easy to put off getting the care you may need. But this can turn a minor illness or injury into a visit to an emergency room or urgent care facility if not addressed in a timely manner. Both options can be costly.

 

With our comprehensive primary-care service, we are dedicated to patient-centered medicine for every stage of life. Our goal is to establish a trusting relationship with you to assist in managing your healthcare holistically.


For patients that require more complex care due to chronic conditions, having a primary care physician helps to reduce the risk of fragmented care and poor clinical outcomes. Instead of seeing a M.D. for minutes, our initial comprehensive primary-care service can take up to one hour. More time for listening, for caring and for being thorough.


Whether you are un-insured, or under-insured, or if you are insured and prefer to not have to wait weeks or months to see a primary care doctor; A Healthier You Wellness Center has the solution for you.

Step-by-step

  1. See your Primary Care Physician (PCP)

  2. PCP sends the referral

    • Ask your PCP to send the referral to the Miami VA (Community Care).

  3. Call the Miami VA after the referral is sent

    • Call the Miami VA community clinic and ask for an MSA (Medical Scheduling Assistant).

  4. Tell the MSA you have a referral to see Dr. Corrente

    • Say: “I have a referral on file to see Dr. Deborah Corrente.”

    • How many visits are authorized?

    • Authorization dates (start/end)?

    • Who to call for rescheduling or no-shows.
