If you’ve ever made a stop at NikNak’s Ice Cream on a hot Powell afternoon, you know the value of something cold, fast, and satisfying. That kind of no-fuss experience is exactly what we aim to deliver when it comes to your healthcare needs at AFC Powell.
Whether you’re visiting for the first time or you’re already familiar with us, it’s natural to have a few questions before walking in. Our team is here to make your visit as smooth and stress-free as possible. Below, we’ve answered some of the most frequently asked questions we receive so you know what to expect and can feel confident about your care.
1. How Long Will I Have to Wait?
Let’s face it. Nobody wants to sit in a waiting room when they’re not feeling their best. At AFC Powell, we focus on getting you seen quickly. Most patients are seen in 15 to 30 minutes, though this can vary depending on the day’s volume.
Our clinic is walk-in friendly, and we work hard to keep visits efficient. We understand your time is valuable, and we take pride in offering care that respects that.
2. Can I Bring My Child In?
Yes, absolutely. We care for patients starting at six months of age. Our team is experienced in working with children and understands the importance of creating a calm and welcoming environment for younger patients.
Whether your child needs treatment for a sore throat, a minor injury, or a school physical, we are here to help with compassionate care you can trust.
3. Do You Handle Work-Related Injuries?
Yes, AFC Powell is equipped to handle a variety of work-related injuries and occupational health needs. We offer services like treatment for minor injuries, drug testing, and DOT physicals.
If you’ve been hurt on the job, we can help you with proper documentation for workers’ compensation and ensure you receive the treatment you need to recover and return to work safely.
4. Can I Just Walk In or Do I Need an Appointment?
Walk-ins are always welcome at AFC Powell. You do not need to call ahead or schedule an appointment. Our clinic is designed to provide convenient access to care when you need it most.
For those who like to save time, we also offer an online check-in option. You can fill out paperwork before arriving, which helps speed up the process once you get here. But don’t worry, it’s not required.
5. Will I Be Able to Get a Prescription?
Yes. While we don’t have a pharmacy on site, our providers can write prescriptions during your visit as needed. We will help you find a nearby pharmacy where you can have them filled quickly.
In addition to writing prescriptions, our team takes time to explain how to use your medication and what to expect. We also follow up after your visit to check on your recovery and answer any remaining questions.
6. What Insurance Plans Do You Accept?
We accept most major insurance plans and strive to make the billing process as straightforward as possible. If you want to double-check whether your insurance is accepted, you can call our clinic directly or visit our website.
We also offer a self-pay option for those without insurance and provide a secure online portal for bill payments. Our staff is always available to help explain your benefits and answer questions about costs or coverage.
7. Do You Offer Preventive Health Services?
While we do not provide routine primary care visits, we offer several essential preventive health services. These include vaccinations, school and sports physicals, and DOT physicals. We carry common vaccines like flu shots, tetanus, and hepatitis, among others.
Our goal is to help keep you and your family protected and informed so you can avoid illness before it starts. If you need help figuring out what vaccines or physicals are right for you, we are happy to guide you.
