Ay, recommended doctor she was very good wherever wherever you and I was very happy with my god.

According to billing I have an outstanding bill, yet I pay my federal employee co pay every time. I asked billing about the balance and the response was me checking system again only to see the amount go up! I had lab work done after my appointment and I saw staff sitting at a laptop watching something on her cellphone while WE the customers were struggling through the self check in kiosk. If she has to put the phone under her laptop chair, it can't be work. I guess she couldn't leave the chair while the elderly were struggling. The lab tech that took my blood was fabulous! Fast and courteous! Thank you. My check in at my doctor area was great. She was very polite and efficient!

I was extremely disturbed by the estimate of service email that I received stating that my "estimated responsibility" was $25.71 that also included a "Prepay Due" and "Make a payment" button. When I went into the estimate, it was clear that it only included the Medicare portion and not my Supplemental coverage. I was told your system couldn't account for that but there was no flag or indicator that it did not include any supplemental coverage and therefore nothing should be paid until it went through the complete claims process. It was also suggesting I had a "co pay" when I do not have Medicare Advantage. My concern is many people might pay the amount without thought and I know from experience if you carry a credit balance with a health provider they never send you statements showing credit balances. To me, this is unconscionable. I would recommend that if your system can only show the primary insurance at the time of the estimate, you clearly indicate that it hasn't gone through the complete process and nothing should be paid until such time.

Access Customized Care Plans Online with Wellstar E-Visits
If you’re a MyChart user, E-visits are a convenient way for you to receive care from a Wellstar clinician without needing to schedule an appointment or come to the clinic.
In addition to virtual visits and our Virtual Urgent Care, Wellstar has expanded access to care with E-visits. These visits are completed using our secure patient portal and offer treatment for non-emergency conditions.
Here’s how it works
Through MyChart, tell us about your health concern by answering a few questions about yourself and your symptoms, then a primary care clinician will respond in MyChart with your care plan.
Conditions that can be treated with an E-visit include:
cough
sinus problems
urinary tract infection
conjunctivitis
back pain
diarrhea
vaginal discharge
heartburn
How to start your E-visit
Log on to MyChart and click Symptom Checker from the menu in the top left of the screen. Select your condition and confirm you are currently located in Georgia. We’ll ask for information about your medications, allergies, health history and preferred pharmacy so that our team can tailor care specifically for you. Next you’ll see the estimated cost for your visit. Finally, click Submit to contact our care team. One of our providers will follow up with your care plan.
“A Wellstar primary care provider will review the information about your symptoms and health history, and we’ll create a customized care plan just for you,” said Wellstar Primary Care Physician Dr. Monika Karakattu. “E-visits offer the same personalized care you’d receive in person at Wellstar, conveniently delivered online and on your schedule.”
If you don’t have MyChart, you can make an account online if you are an established Wellstar patient. With MyChart, you can securely access all your health records with a single username and password. Once you’re connected, you can view your test results, schedule appointments, request prescription refills and pay your bills.
