THIS INDEPENDENT URGENT CARE CLINIC HAS BEEN VERY RESPONSIVE WITH COMMUNICATION OF NOTES AND CARE OF OUR PATIENTS.  TFM IS NOT COMPENSATED FOR VISITS TO THIS CLINIC BUT DOES REVIEW CHARTS FOR THIS CLINIC TO BE SURE IT MAINTAINS THE HIGHEST STANDARD OF CARE.   TFM APPROVES OF FAMILY URGENT CARE FOR THEIR  LEVEL OF CARE ABOVE THAT OF “RETAIL CLINICS” FOUND IN GROCERY AND DRUG STORES WHICH ARE NOT AAFP APPROVED.

HENDERSONVILLE MEDICAL CENTER IS THE ER OF CHOICE FOR MEMBERS OF HEALTHSPRING IPA INSURANCE.  HEALTHSPRING MEMBERS ARE ENCOURAGED TO CALL THEIR PHYSICIAN BEFORE SEEKING EMERGENCY ROOM CARE FOR ANYTHING BUT A TRUE EMERGENCY. 

Other clinics exist but have not provided the same level of feedback to maintain a medical home for our patients.  If you have suggestions for us to research please email the clinic. 

For more information on the AAFP position on retail clinics, please read the blog with links to more information.
