Frequently Asked Questions

MetroHealth, Inc. is a primary care medical practice for seniors who are insured through Medicare. We have offices in Apopka, Conway, Downtown Orlando, East Orlando, MetroWest, Holly Hill  and Ormond Beach. Our primary care doctors, physician assistants, and other health professionals are dedicated to providing exceptional medical care and value-added services to our clients.

As we age into our senior years, medical issues can become increasingly intertwined and complicated. It is common for seniors to require medical care from a number of specialists. As a primary care practice devoted specifically to geriatrics, MetroHealth coordinates directly with your specialists to ensure that you receive the best and most comprehensive care possible.

Many insurance plans require a referral from your primary care physician for specialist visits. Your MetroHealth physician can walk you through the referral process. After you have visited a specialist, we will review their findings with you and help you make critical decisions about your care.

To become a MetroHealth patient, simply call our Medicare Insurance Coordinator at 407-733-2701 or stop by one of our Central Florida locations to speak with one of our friendly staff members.  We are happy to explain our practice to you and help establish you as a client.

Please call your local MetroHealth office to schedule an appointment. By scheduling your appointment well in advance, you will have a better selection of available dates and times. We try to accommodate for same-day appointments if there is an urgent need. However, we ask that you only request a same-day appointment if you truly need to see a doctor right away.

We want to maximize the quality time that you spend with our care providers during your visit. You can help us make your first appointment as efficient as possible by bringing the following information and items with you:

  • Your current insurance card and a valid photo ID
  • All of your current medication bottles and packaging, including non-prescription medicines
  • A summary of your health status
  • Any questions you may have for us

You can download MetroHealth’s New Patient Information Packet for your specified office on our Locations page. You have the option to fill out this form at home and bring it to us the day of your first appointment.

Note: The Medical Records Release Form must be filled out before your appointment.
