Your first stop for health care

Why have a primary care provider

Primary care is your first point of contact for health care. Your provider handles preventive care, new illnesses and long-term conditions, and refers you to a specialist if you need one.

Because your provider gets to know you, your history and your goals, it is easier to stay on top of preventive care, manage chronic conditions and coordinate care with specialists.

Diabetes, blood pressure and other chronic conditions

We provide long-term care for diabetes, heart disease, high blood pressure and high cholesterol. At regular follow-ups, your provider checks how you are doing, reviews your medicines and talks with you about daily habits. The plan is built around your life.

Adult and Medicare Annual Wellness Visits

The Adult Annual Wellness Visit is your yearly preventive checkup. The Medicare Annual Wellness Visit is the yearly wellness visit covered by Medicare. Both focus on prevention: screenings, immunizations you are due for, and a review of your health history. To check in on an ongoing condition, book a Follow Up visit. For a new illness, book a sick visit.

Refills and test results

Already taking a medicine? Book a Medication Refill visit to review and renew it. You can see most routine test results in our online patient portal, and our staff will contact you if a result needs attention.

Questions

Primary care questions

Can I get a same-day sick visit?

Yes, if you are a current patient. Book a “Sick Visit – Same Day” online or call us. New to Ridgeview? Book a “New Patient – Establish Care” visit first, and same-day sick visits are open to you after that.

What should I bring to my first visit?

Your insurance card, a photo ID, your medical records (or the names and phone numbers of your past providers and specialists), and a list of the medicines you take, or the bottles.

Do you treat work or car accident injuries?

No. We do not treat work-related or motor vehicle collision injuries.

Do you offer telehealth visits?

Yes, we offer telehealth for some visit types.

Can I get blood work done at the clinic?

Yes. Blood work can be done for established patients right here in the clinic.

How do referrals to specialists work?

If you are an established patient and are being seen for a condition that requires specialty care, your provider can place a referral when appropriate. If you are requesting a referral for a new concern that we have not previously evaluated, you will need to schedule an appointment with one of our providers first.

How do I request my medical records?

You may request a copy of your medical records by completing a medical records release form. Records can be provided electronically or as a paper copy.

Do you offer self-pay pricing?

Yes. We offer a self-pay discount for patients who pay for their visit in full at the time of service.

Do you accept Idaho Medicaid?

We are not accepting new Medicaid patients. You can see the insurance plans we take on our appointments page.
