When you need quick medical attention at a time that is convenient for you, Barbour Quick Care has walk-in care available to keep you moving forward. Walk into one of our two Quick Care locations in Philippi and Belington to receive healthcare you can trust for you and your family. Services available at both Quick Care locations include immunizations, coughs/colds, flus, sore throats, cuts/lacerations, splinters, pink eye, poison ivy, lab services, imaging services, sports physicals, and more. We sat down with Carol Everson, MS, PA-C, to get the answers to frequently asked questions about the service.
Q: Who is this service for?
A: This service is for anyone in the public who needs medical attention
Q: Why quick care over walk-in care?
A: The label “quick” immediately gives off the understanding that the services provided at our facilities are just that, quick! The word “walk-in” generally indicates a patient can be seen as needed, but does not carry the weight of any sort of timeframe. It’s more attractive to mention being “quick” so the person seeking service can understand that if they don’t have a lot of time, their experience with us can be expected to be swift.
Q: What services are offered here?
A: Our medical providers are skilled to offer services to whatever presents at our doors. If we can not manage the need inside our doors, we are trained to know where to outsource the need to. In-house services here include x-ray, lab, injections, wound care, splinting, small procedures such as laceration repair, ear irrigations, rapid testing services including urine assessments. Many of us are also registered DOT medical examiners to perform CDL physicals. Some of us have areas of specialty that we excel in more than others. That’s what makes our team so dynamic and well rounded, we each bring something to the table.
Q: Will you prescribe medication?
A: Yes
Q: Any info on co-pays/insurance?
A: BCHA offers health access to underinsured and uninsured, as well as payment agreements on monthly payment plans. All commercial insurances are accepted here. We do not accept out of state Medicaid.
Q: What is your favorite part of working here?
A: I absolutely love my job here. Every person I work with is so kind and considerate. The fact that my needs matter to my bosses and the flexibility of the administrative side, alongside the diversity of the patient population we serve is enough to hold my interest in working here. I am invested in the future of BCHA. Because I am served, this in turn drives me to want to serve. It is a challenging job because from day to day it’s unknown what sort of patient case will walk through the Quick Care doors. It’s never the same. The one thing that makes my work so doable, is the people I work with.
