What is your privacy policy?

At Pure Family Medicine, we take your privacy very seriously. When you use health insurance in a typical health care setting, your private medical information is shared with the insurance company. Additionally, your records are accessible to everyone in that hospital system. In our practice, your records are private. We will only share them with your permission, or if you request a referral or opt to have insurance cover testing, medication, etc.

Our members have a ton of flexibility when it comes to privacy. If you want to communicate with us via text message, you have that option. If regular email is most convenient for you, that’s fine too. If you want only the most secure communication, use our excellent secure communication app Spruce Health so that all your information is protected. The choice is yours.
You can find our HIPAA Notice of Privacy Practices here. This is a standard federally mandated form that you will find at all medical practices.

What happens if I have an after hours emergency?

If you are having a life threatening emergency, call 911 immediately.

For members with non-life threatening emergencies, call Dr. Bub and she will return your call as soon as possible. If your health concern is an emergency, Dr. Bub will recommend you go to an emergency room or urgent care center. If it is safe to wait, Dr. Bub will see you ASAP the next business day.
Urgent care or emergency visits are not covered in your membership, however having access to your physician after hours may help you avoid an unnecessary visit to the ER.
Non-members with a non-life threatening after hours emergency should contact Dispatch Health or go to their nearest neighborhood urgent care center or ER.

What if I have to see a specialist?

There will be some health issues that extend beyond the scope of primary care. When patients are referred to a specialist, we take an active role in overseeing and coordinating their care, and will be available to answer any questions they have about specialist recommendations.

Patients typically opt to use their health insurance for specialist visits, however there are specialists in the area who will offer lower rates for cash-pay patients.
For certain conditions, Dr. Bub can consult with specialists via telemedicine and can care for you in our clinic. There is an additional fee for this service, however it is typically lower than a traditional specialist visit.

Will you visit me in the hospital?

Due to insurance and credentialing requirements imposed on doctors by hospital systems, Dr. Bub has elected not to carry hospital privileges and cannot visit you in the hospital. We will still be available by phone, text, e-mail, or telemedicine to help provide guidance should you be admitted to the hospital.

Do you prescribe narcotic medication or controlled substances?

In general, no. We believe in managing pain without use of these medications, however there are rare circumstances where they are appropriate. We have a very strict narcotic and controlled substance policy for patients who are on these medications, and not following medical recommendations will result in dismissal from the practice.
