Here are answers to some common questions about care with Dr. Hubert Fiery:

Are services from Dr. Hubert Fiery typically covered by health insurance in North Carolina?

As a Family Physician in North Carolina, Dr. Hubert Fiery likely accepts a variety of health insurance plans, including major private insurers, Medicare, and potentially state Medicaid programs (patients should verify Medicaid participation directly). However, it is absolutely crucial that you verify with your specific insurance provider AND with our clinic's office at (336) 861-0640 prior to your appointment to confirm that Dr. Hubert Fiery is 'in-network' for your plan and to understand your specific coverage details, co-pays, deductibles, co-insurance, and any referral requirements for specialist visits if applicable. Some services (e.g., most cosmetic procedures, some administrative forms, non-medically necessary visits) may not be covered by insurance and could result in out-of-pocket expenses. Please ask the clinic about policies for uninsured or self-pay patients if applicable.

Do I typically need a referral to see Dr. Hubert Fiery as my Family Physician, or to see a specialist?

Generally, you do not need a referral from another doctor to see Dr. Hubert Fiery to establish care as your Family Physician/Primary Care Physician (PCP), provided he is accepting new patients. However, to see most medical specialists (e.g., cardiologist, dermatologist), Dr. Hubert Fiery will typically provide a referral after an assessment. Many insurance plans, particularly HMOs (Health Maintenance Organizations), do require a referral from your designated PCP (Dr. Hubert Fiery, if so chosen) for specialist visits to be covered. PPO (Preferred Provider Organization) plans may offer more flexibility for self-referral to specialists, but this might result in higher out-of-pocket costs if the specialist is out-of-network or if a referral would have secured better coverage. Always check the referral requirements of your specific insurance plan.

What does PCP mean and is Dr. Hubert Fiery one?

PCP stands for Primary Care Physician. Yes, Dr. Hubert Fiery, as a Family Physician, serves as a PCP for his patients. Your PCP is your main doctor for general health needs, preventative care (like annual physicals and screenings), and is usually the first point of contact for most medical issues, both acute and chronic. He manages a wide range of health concerns and coordinates your overall care, including providing referrals to specialists if needed. Many health insurance plans in the US, especially HMOs, require you to select or be assigned a designated PCP to oversee your care and authorize specialist visits.

How can I find a Family Physician (Family Physician) in North Carolina who is accepting new patients and takes my insurance?

First, check your health insurance plan's 'Find a Doctor' or 'Provider Directory' tool (often available online or via their member services phone number) to find in-network PCPs. This is the most reliable way to ensure coverage. You can also use the 'Physician Finder' tool on the American Academy of Family Physicians (AAFP) website (familydoctor.org). The North Carolina Medical Board website may also have search tools for licensed physicians. Ask friends, family, or colleagues for recommendations, and contact local hospital systems or larger medical groups, as they often have affiliated family physicians who are accepting new patients and can provide lists of accepted insurances. Finding a doctor can be challenging; be persistent and always verify insurance acceptance directly with the clinic before scheduling the first appointment.

Can Dr. Hubert Fiery help with mental health concerns like anxiety or depression?

Absolutely. Dr. Hubert Fiery is well-equipped to address a wide range of mental health issues as part of comprehensive family medicine. He can help diagnose conditions like anxiety or depression, provide counseling and support, manage psychotropic medications when appropriate (monitoring for effectiveness and side effects), and coordinate care with mental health specialists if required, ensuring your overall care plan is holistic. If you're struggling with your mental well-being, Dr. Hubert Fiery is an excellent person to start the conversation with and seek help from in a confidential and supportive environment.

What is 'continuity of care' and why is it important with a Family Physician like Dr. Hubert Fiery?

Continuity of care refers to the process where your Family Physician, Dr. Hubert Fiery, sees you for your health needs on an ongoing basis, rather than seeing different doctors for different issues. This consistency is valuable because Dr. Hubert Fiery becomes familiar with your medical background, your lifestyle, and what's 'normal' for you. This knowledge aids in quicker diagnosis, more effective treatment plans, better chronic disease management, and ensures that your care is well-coordinated, especially important when dealing with multiple specialists or navigating complex insurance plans. It's about having a trusted healthcare partner throughout your life who understands your complete health picture.

How do I get a prescription refilled by Dr. Hubert Fiery?

For most routine prescription refills, please contact your pharmacy first, ideally 5-7 days before you run out of medication. Your pharmacy can often send an electronic refill request directly to Dr. Hubert Fiery's office. Please allow at least 24-72 business hours for these requests to be processed. For certain medications (e.g., controlled substances or medications requiring close monitoring), or if it has been a significant time since your last review, an appointment will likely be required. Some insurance plans may require prior authorization, which our office can help initiate. It is always best to request refills proactively and not wait until you are completely out of medication.

What should I bring with me to my appointment with Dr. Hubert Fiery?

To each appointment, please bring all your current health insurance cards and a photo ID. A current list of all your medications (name, dose, frequency, prescribing doctor if not Dr. Hubert Fiery) is very important. If you're coming about a specific issue and have related reports (like X-rays or recent lab results), please bring those along. Jot down any questions or symptoms you want to discuss beforehand. You may also want to check with the clinic beforehand about their payment policy for co-pays or services not covered by insurance.
