Current Patient FAQ
About My Care
Brio asks that you follow the below steps in order to refill your medications.
First, before you call our office, please call your pharmacy to confirm whether or not they have a refill on file.
If you are taking ADHD medications and your prescription says "0 refills," it is because state law requires ADHD medications to be sent as separate refills.
If you have called your pharmacy, and they do not have your refill(s) on file, and you have not been seen in the past 6 months, please give us a call at 864.603.5600 or Live Chat us and we will get you scheduled for a follow-up visit. At that follow-up visit, we will be able to refill any medications you are out of!

There can be medical risks associated with taking prescribed medications. Your Provider feels it is in your best interest to have periodic follow-ups in order to monitor and assess next best steps for your care before writing another prescription.
The average turnaround time for medication and imaging prior autorization is two weeks.
X-Ray results have a turnaround time of 24-48 hours.
Lab results have a turn around time of 5-7 business days.
There are two ways for you to review your labs:
1. As soon as they are resulted before the provider reviews them, your labs are posted to your Visit Summary. To access, log into the Healow App -> Click Visits -> Select Past Appointment where labs were drawn -> Choose Visit Summary -> Scroll Down to Results Section
2. Once your Provider has reviewed your labs, they can be accessed in the Results section of the app. To view, log into the Healow App -> "Access Your Health Records" and Click View -> Results -> Click View Specific Lab Results
You do not need to fast for any labs unless specified by your Provider. If you are unsure, give us a call at 864.603.5600.
We pride ourselves in getting back to our patients as soon as we can. You can expect to hear back from a Brio team member within 48-72 business hours depending on the need.

Billing & Insurance
We advise you reach out directly to your insurance provider to confirm whether or not Brio is in network with your insurance.
Every insurance plan is unique. We recommend contacting your insurance carrier to discuss covered services.
If you come to Brio for a preventive visit (or physical) and discussed additional concerns with your Provider, they are required to bill a code for an office visit to address the problems or concerns. Your copay will be put towards the bill for the office visit portion of your visit.
While we draw and conduct labs in our office, we are required to send certain tests to Labcorp, a third party lab service.
At Brio Primary Care we offer a Self Pay discount. A Good Faith Estimate is provided prior to the appointment so you are able to bring funds to pay at the time of service. Please note, a minimum payment of $100 will be collected at the time of service.
Following your appointment, you will receive a text and/or email with your statement and instructions on how to pay.
There are four ways for patients to complete payments:
1. Online through the Patient Portal
2. Paying through the Healow App (available to download in the Google Play or App Store)
3. Call 864-603-5600 and select option 3.

Providers
The primary difference between a Physician and a Physician's Assistant/Nurse Practitioner is the number of years of training. Our Physician's Assistants and Nurse Practitioners work closely with our Physicians to provide you with the best care possible.
Physician Assistants (PAs), Nurse Practitioners (NPs), and Physicians are all medically trained professionals. PAs and NPs can see patients for the majority of the same issues as a Physicians. Our PAs and NPs work closely with our team of Physicians to provide our patients with the best medical care.
In order to provide you with the best care possible, we recommend that you continue your care at Brio with the initial Provider with whom you establish care. However, we recognize the importance of the Provider-Patient relationship, and want you to feel you are matched with the best Provider. If you have questions about switching to a different primary care Provider at Brio, please call our office at 864.603.5600.
It is our goal to schedule each patient with their primary care Provider. If a patient's Provider is out of the office or their Provider's schedule is full, we may schedule an appointment with another Provider to ensure our patients are seen in a timely manner. We pride ourselves on having seamless care for all of our patients, regardless of which provider they are seeing.
Patient Portal
Patients can access the Patient Portal once they are web enabled. To become web enabled, please be sure to select this option in your New Patient Packet. Once web enabled, patients can access the portal two ways:
1) The "Patient Portal" button in the top corner of our website
2) Downloading the Healow App from the Google Play or Apple App Store
The Patient Portal can be used to review lab results, view visit summaries, message a nurse, and more!
The Patient Portal and Healow App serve very similar purposes. If you prefer to download the free Healow App, you can access most everything on the Patient Portal at the touch of the button on your mobile device! We recommend the Patient Portal for those using on an internet browser such as Chrome, Safari, or Microsoft Edge.
Brio does not use MyChart, instead we use the Healow App and/or Patient Portal. We are able to access the information contained in MyChart with your permission.
