Adult Primary Care
The Adult Primary Care program focuses on complete
care. Our goal is overall wellness for our patients.
It is important to get to know you and your health needs.
So, we try very hard to make sure you always see the
same health care provider.
Buncombe County offers a full line of services to meet
your specific needs. We make it easy to get the care
you need by having an on-site lab and pharmacy. You
can get your exams, medical tests and most medicines
during the same visit.

To schedule an appointment, call 250-5000. Sick
or acute care appointments are usually scheduled
within 24 hours. "Routine Care" (diabetes
management, BP evaluation, etc.) may take a few
days longer to be scheduled. In times of high
demand for appointments, it may also take a little
longer to get an appointment scheduled.
Established patients can speak with a registered
nurse if they have questions, or need help in
determining if they should see a doctor.
Clients requesting a physical exam for Immigration

When you come in for an appointment at the Health
Center, make sure to bring any insurance information
you have including your Medicaid card or other
insurance card. If you do not have insurance,
please bring proof of your current income. This
could be a recent pay stub, bank statement, or
other document that shows your current household
income. This is to help us determine what portion
of the charges for your visit you may be asked
to pay.
Also be sure to bring any Medical Records you
may have. This will help us provide you with the
best possible.

Clients who come to the Health Center without
an appointment are directed to a telephone in
the lobby to access the scheduling center. If
an appointment is not available, the patient (or
parent) may speak to a Registered Nurse for advice.

Clinical services accept self-pay, Medicaid and
private insurance. Most services are provided
on a sliding fee scale and eligible participants
may receive care at no charge (fees are based
on family size and income).
