Family Medicine Questions
Answers to common questions about establishing care, appointment types, medications, insurance, and family medicine services at Harbor Physicians.
What ages does Harbor Physicians see?
Harbor Physicians provides family medicine, primary care, and internal medicine services for patients ages 14 and older.
Are you accepting new patients?
Harbor Physicians is accepting new patients. Appointment availability and insurance participation may vary. Please call (904) 368-6809 to confirm availability and verify your insurance plan.
What is the difference between family medicine and internal medicine?
Family medicine provides broad routine, preventive, and ongoing care across multiple stages of life. Internal medicine focuses primarily on adult medical care and the management of complex or chronic conditions. Harbor Physicians provides both types of care for patients ages 14 and older.
Can Harbor Physicians manage chronic medical conditions?
Yes. Family medicine may include ongoing monitoring and treatment for conditions such as diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, thyroid disorders, asthma, and other common medical concerns. Treatment depends on your individual medical history and clinical needs.
Do you offer sick or same-day appointments?
Harbor Physicians evaluates many non-emergency illnesses and new or worsening symptoms. Same-day appointments may be available, but availability is not guaranteed. Please call the office to discuss your symptoms and the appropriate appointment type.
What should I bring to my appointment?
Bring your photo identification, current insurance card, relevant medical records, and the physical bottles for every prescription, over-the-counter medication, vitamin, and supplement you currently take. If you cannot bring the bottles, bring a current printed medication list directly from your pharmacy.
Why are the physical medication bottles important?
The physical bottles allow your physician to verify the exact medication name, strength, dosage, directions, and prescribing provider. This helps reduce medication errors, duplicate therapies, and conflicting dosage information.
Do you provide preventive physicals and wellness visits?
Yes. Preventive visits may include a health-history review, medication reconciliation, risk assessment, and discussion of recommended screenings. The services included and patient cost may depend on your age, insurance plan, and the type of appointment.
Can I discuss new medical concerns during a physical?
You may discuss new concerns with your provider, but a separate problem-focused service may be documented and billed when symptoms, diagnoses, or treatment needs are addressed in addition to the preventive physical. Insurance plans may process the services differently.
Do you provide specialist referrals?
Your physician may recommend and order a specialist referral when medically appropriate. Some insurance plans require prior authorization or the use of specific in-network specialists before an appointment can be scheduled.
Do you offer telehealth appointments?
Telehealth may be available for selected follow-up visits and concerns when an in-person examination is not required. Eligibility depends on the medical concern, provider approval, and insurance coverage.
What insurance plans do you accept?
Harbor Physicians participates with Medicare, Medicaid, Florida Blue/BCBS, Devoted, and many other insurance plans. Participation can vary by specific plan, service, and date of care. Please call the office to verify current participation before your appointment.
