Welcome to Brigham and Women's Family Care Associates. We are honored that you have chosen us as your primary care clinic. To provide the best possible care for you, we ask that you send the following records/reports* to our office at least one week before your first visit (the earlier the better).
* Please review the instructions for requesting your medical records that we have explained here. You will need to complete a form and submit it to the facility that currently has your medical records in order to authorize them to release your records to us.
For all patients, please arrive 15 minutes before your scheduled appointment so that we have time to register you and check your weight and vital signs before your appointment with your doctor. If you need to cancel your visit, please give us 48 hours' notice. To provide the best possible care please bring with you:
Adolescents or caretakers of adolescents should take a moment to familiarize themselves with our Adolescent Care and Confidentiality Policy.
Sometimes, your annual Preventive Health Exam, Medicare Annual Wellness Visit, or Welcome to Medicare Visit can turn into a “Sick Visit." During your visit, your provider may need to treat a new medical issue or a chronic problem that has changed. If that occurs, this part of the visit is called a Sick Visit and may result in additional services being billed to your insurance.
In addition, coverage for certain screening tests (such as cancer and cardiovascular disease screening) and immunizations performed at your Annual Physical depends on your age and health insurance plan. Some tests and immunizations may not be covered at 100%, and some may not be covered at all. In those cases you may be responsible for a co-insurance or deductible payment.
