Safety is our highest priority.
We are screening all patients, physicians, and staff coming to the clinic by measuring their temperature and asking screening questions. We are sending anybody with a fever home and assessing their status through a telemedicine visit. To protect our patients and staff, we are not permitting anybody with symptoms that could be from COVID-19 to be seen in the clinic. After a phone consultation, patients with such symptoms will be offered a telemedicine visit to have their symptoms evaluated. In addition, patients are only allowed one person to accompany them to their appointment.
Afternoon lab:
The busiest time in our lab is between the hours of 7:30am – 12:00pm. To permit a safe space between patients, we are only allowing a certain number of patients in the lab waiting room at one time. Thus, to enable our patients to safely have their labs performed, we are encouraging our patients to get their labs performed in the afternoon. To incentive this, Capital Medical Clinic will pay the parking for patients with afternoon lab appointments.
Some patients prefer morning labs because they want to be fasting. An alternative to morning labs is to have an early breakfast (between 5:00am – 7:00am), wait 6 hours and then come to the clinic in the afternoon for lab work. Our afternoon lab hours are noon – 5pm, Monday through Friday.
We now offer drive-by labs!
Due to COVID-19, some people prefer to enter as few buildings as possible. To address that concern, CMC offers the option of having your labs drawn at our drive-by lab just outside our building. We will also continue to perform lab testing inside of our building if that is your preference. X-rays, bone density testing, EKGs, and urine testing can only be done at our indoor lab.
COVID-19 test:
Capital Medical Clinic now offers rapid antigen testing for COVID-19. Results of this test will usually be back the same day. We also provide PCR testing for COVID-19. Both the rapid antigen test and the PCR tests are performed through nasal swabs and are used to diagnose if currently have COVID-19.
Telemedicine:
If you are concerned about physically coming into our office for an appointment, do not cancel your appointment. Instead, call to change your appointment to a telemedicine appointment. In a telemedicine appointment, you can discuss your health concerns with your doctor through a secure video or audio connection from the safety and comfort of your home. Capital Medical Clinic will contact you at your appointment time and connect you with your physician.
Afterhours Telemedicine: If you have an urgent health issue and need access to care at night or on a weekend, one of our physicians or physician assistants is available. Call our after-hours answering service at 512-458-1121. You will be directed to one of our providers, who will determine if a telemedicine visit is necessary. If a telemedicine visit is performed, it will be billed to your insurance provider or Medicare. During hours in which our physicians are likely sleeping, we respectfully ask that only call for urgent issues that cannot wait until the morning.
Even during the outbreak of COVID-19, preventive medicine is still important. Medicare patients can schedule their Annual Wellness Visits with a telemedicine visit. A person from our office will call you before your appointment to complete the health risk assessment.

Since the CDC recommendation is to wait until September to start administering flu shots, we will start giving flu shots Wednesday September 9th.

Committed to Wellness Care
Capital Medical Clinic is committed to your wellness care — health care that may lower your risk of illness or injury. We want you to know that Medicare pays 100% for a wellness visit once a year to identify health risks and help you to reduce them.
At a wellness visit, you can expect a review of your health that includes the following:
-
Screenings to detect depression, risk for falling or other problems
-
Vaccinations
-
Heart and diabetic screening, if indicated
-
Osteoporosis screening
-
Recommendations for other wellness services and healthy lifestyle changes
Medicare provides this benefit at no cost to the patient. However, if additional tests or other services are performed at the visit, you may be required to pay coinsurance and the Part B deductible may apply. For example, a wellness visit does not address new or existing health problems, and it does not pay for a traditional, head-to-toe physical. That would be a separate service and requires a longer appointment. This does not replace the annual physical examination that is required with your physician.
Even during the outbreak of COVID-19, preventive medicine is still important. Medicare patients can schedule their Annual Wellness Visits with a telemedicine visit. A person from our office will call you before your appointment to complete the health risk assessment. (link that will take them to the attached form).
We hope to help you get the most from your Medicare wellness benefits. For more information about these visits, please go to the medicare.gov website or call 512-454-5171 to schedule an appointment.
