What to Consider When Choosing a Primary Care Physician (PCP)?

When selecting a primary care physician, it’s important to consider several key factors to ensure you and your family receive the best possible care. At Kernersville Primary Care, our board-certified providers offer a wealth of experience and expertise in family medicine and internal medicine, allowing us to meet a wide range of healthcare needs for patients of all ages.

Our physicians and nurse practitioners at Kernersville Primary Care are committed to ongoing education and are fully certified, ensuring you have access to up-to-date medical knowledge and compassionate care.

We accept a wide range of insurance plans at Kernersville Primary Care, helping to minimize unexpected costs and streamline your experience. Our staff is happy to assist you with any insurance questions to ensure your visit is worry-free.

Our team values clear, open communication. We make it a priority to listen to your concerns, explain medical information thoroughly, and respond promptly to questions—whether during office visits or through our patient portal. Prescription refills and referrals are handled efficiently to support your ongoing care.

To find out if Kernersville Primary Care accepts your insurance, start by checking your insurance company’s website. Most insurance providers offer a searchable directory where you can look up practices like Kernersville Primary Care by name, location, and specialty to see if they are considered in-network. Be sure to search using your specific insurance plan, as coverage can vary even within the same company.

Another effective step is to call Kernersville Primary Care directly. When you contact our office, let us know the full name of your insurance plan and any network information listed on your insurance card. Our experienced staff can quickly confirm whether we accept your insurance and answer any questions you may have.

You can also contact your insurance company’s customer service number, typically found on the back of your insurance card. Their representatives can help you verify if Kernersville Primary Care is included in your network, and can provide information about any potential out-of-pocket costs.

Because insurance networks and provider participation can change, we recommend confirming your coverage both with your insurance company and with our office. Taking these steps will help ensure your visits to Kernersville Primary Care are covered and will help you avoid any unexpected charges.

At Kernersville Primary Care, we understand that everyone’s health needs are unique. The ideal frequency of routine check-ups with your primary care provider depends on your age, overall health, and personal risk factors. For most healthy adults, we recommend scheduling a visit with your Kernersville Primary Care provider at least once every one to three years during early adulthood. After age 50, it’s generally best to have annual check-ups, as the risk for chronic conditions increases.

If you have a chronic condition, are undergoing treatment, or have specific risk factors, your Kernersville Primary Care provider may advise more frequent visits to ensure optimal management of your health. Regular check-ups at our practice are essential for preventive care, early detection of health issues, and building a lasting relationship with your healthcare team.

At Kernersville Primary Care, our experienced team of healthcare professionals—including family physicians, internists, and nurse practitioners—is dedicated to managing chronic conditions like diabetes and hypertension. We understand that living with these conditions requires ongoing support, and we are equipped to provide comprehensive care tailored to your individual needs.
