Primary Care

Need a primary care provider? Just schedule a convenient virtual appointment at WellCare! Here are just a few of the things that we can do for you as your primary care provider:

• Order and interpret routine and other indicated lab work
• Discuss and recommend immunizations 
• Order preventative screenings like mammograms and colon cancer screening
• Provide counseling on healthy diet and exercise practices 
• Manage prescriptions 
• Manage chronic conditions such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and diabetes 
• Counsel on and manage contraception 
• Refer to specialty providers as indicated 
• Treat acute issues promptly and conveniently, and much more! 

Even if you feel great and do not have any health problems, it is still important to have an established primary care provider to reach out to for routine and urgent issues. You need a trusted health care provider who offers prompt care, whether you wake up sick, need a routine physical, or want expert care for a chronic disease. You can count on that level of care and skill from our team at WellCare. We are based out of Johnson County, Kansas, and we serve adults anywhere in Kansas through online Telehealth services. If you need a dedicated and compassionate primary care provider who cares about and supports your optimal health, text or call our office or schedule an appointment through our website today!

Why do I need Primary Care?

Primary care gives you a dedicated medical practice and provider you can depend on for your immediate and future health care needs. As your primary care provider, we will get to know you and the health care issues you may face. We also offer same-day appointments for urgent issues.

When you do not have an established primary care provider and you have a health problem, you may have to wait weeks or even months for a new patient appointment or go to a busy, impersonal, and potentially expensive urgent care or emergency department. 

What services can I get through Primary Care?

Our experienced team at WellCare specializes in diagnosing and treating a wide range of illnesses, diseases, and acute health issues that adults may face. We offer comprehensive and compassionate services, including (but not limited to):

• Urgent care (sick visits)
• Preventive health care
• Medication management
• Women’s health
• Men’s health
• Senior care
• Medical weight loss
• Mental health care
• Chronic disease management

You may be surprised to learn about the extensive care available through Telehealth appointments at WellCare! For example, we can evaluate your health and even monitor your vital signs through easy-to-use technology at home.

We can order lab work to be done at a nearby lab. We will let you know when you need immunizations and preventive screenings for breast cancer, cervical cancer, colon cancer, lung cancer, osteoporosis, and other diseases.

Why does Primary Care include chronic disease management?

Our goal is to help you prevent chronic diseases. But if you are diagnosed with a chronic disease, you need regular monitoring and care to stop or slow the progression of disease. Without effective monitoring and care, chronic diseases can worsen and even lead to life-threatening problems like a heart attack or stroke. 

At WellCare, we will work closely with you to design an individualized disease management plan to stop or slow disease progression, prevent complications, and keep you as healthy as possible. 

You need chronic disease management for conditions like:

• Diabetes
• Asthma
• Heart disease
• High blood pressure
• High cholesterol
• Fibromyalgia
• Chronic kidney disease

Chronic disease management may involve things like lifestyle changes, medications, or referrals to specialized providers. Most (if not all) chronic diseases can be improved with healthy diet changes, regular exercise, weight loss, smoking cessation, and other lifestyle improvements.
