Now offering Telemedicine

You have access to our providers via telephone visits, telemedicine (video conferencing) and patient portal messaging. If you would like to schedule an appointment via telemedicine, please discuss that with the receptionist when you call and whenever it is determined that we can meet your needs this way, we will be happy to provide that service for you.

Please be advised that there are MANY new Medicare Advantage plans on the market, and they all have different rules and requirements.  Please understand that there is no way that we can appropriately care for our patients and keep up with what each of those plans decides they are going to require.
 
Therefore, if you are going to become our patient or you plan to continue to be our patient, you need to contact us BEFORE you sign up with an advantage plan or BEFORE you change to a different plan. Some of the plans have restrictions that do not allow us to provide the level of care that we expect to provide for our patients.  We cannot jump through their hoops and still be denied basic requests for care for patients. 

Please understand that some of these plans auto-assign us to all of their plans whether we have signed up for each plan or not, so just because they tell you that we are “in-network” does not mean that we will be accepting that plan. Please call our office to verify what plans we are currently accepting. 
 
Open enrollment for making changes ends on March 31st.

F.A.Q.

These are some of the questions our patients ask:

Family Medicine physicians receive three years of training in adult medicine, pediatrics and
obstetrics/gynecology. Family Medicine physicians take care of families. Our goal as a Family Medicine office it to provide care for your family from newborns to grandparents. Dr. Johnson has been blessed to treat multiple generations of families and that is one of the joys of his practice. That is truly what Family Medicine is all about.

A family nurse practitioner is a registered nurse who has undergone advanced formal education in a wide range of health care services. Nurse practitioners are skilled in physical examination and the treatment of many common primary care concerns, both acute and chronic. They provide some of the same care as physicians including routine follow-up, medication management and referrals to specialists. They have a close working relationship with their physician in the management of their patients. At Johnson Family Medicine, patient care is very much a team approach.

To get a refill on your medications, please have your pharmacy contact us either electronically or by fax at 931-484-2225. You may also call and leave your request via voice mail or telephone message with the front desk. We will process those requests within 24-48 hours of receiving the request. Please make sure you request your medications prior to running out of them.

Please contact our office prior to making changes in your Medicare plans. There are some
replacement plans that our office is not able to accept or we are not able to handle referrals for our patients as needed. We will gladly advise you as to which plans we do accept.

Our office asks that patients wait in your cars once you arrive for your appointments. Call the
office at 931-484-2220 and notify us of your arrival. The nurse will notify you when your exam room becomes available or when the lab is able to provide services for you. If you have fever, headache, sore throat, cough or shortness of breath, we ask that you notify our front desk at the time you schedule your appointment or when you arrive at the office. We also ask that you notify scheduling if you know you have had a recent exposure to someone that is positive for COVID. This allows the staff to be best prepared to prevent potential exposure both for themselves and for our patients. We are all doing our part to continue to serve you safely during this time. Additionally, many of you may be aware that we have appointments available via telehealth if your needs can be appropriately met this way. Most insurance companies pay for these visits just like a visit in the office and it allows the patient to speak to the doctor face-to-face via video messaging without ever leaving home. Please let our office know if this would be beneficial for you at any time.
