Frequently Asked Questions

How can I fill my prescription?
Call the Health Center at 946.1111.

What if I need an appointment right away?
The Health Center tries to hold a few openings every day for urgent needs. Call the evening before and leave a message or call early in the morning for availability.

What if I can not make a scheduled appointment?
The Health Center requires two hours prior notice to cancel.

My primary care provider is at High Peaks Health Center, but can I go to Elizabethtown or Westport Health Center since it is part of the same hospital?
No. Although both Health Centers are part of the same hospital system, they are two separate practices. Patients are asked to establish with only one health center in the interest of continuity of care and patient safety.

I had laboratory testing/radiology exams done. When can I get my results?
Although many laboratory and radiology test results are reported quickly, the results must still be forwarded to your provider for review. Staff will notify you of your results as soon as your provider has given them instructions to do so. If you do not hear from us in one week, please call the office.

What if I am not home to receive my results? Can you tell my family member?
If you wish us to leave a message with a family member or friend regarding test results, appointments, etc., you may sign a release to be kept in your chart designating the individual(s).

I have a question about billing. Who should I speak with?
Health Center billing is handled by Elizabethtown Community Hospital. For payment concerns or problems, the ECH Business Office may be able to help. Please call 518.873.6377.

How can I obtain copies of my records?
Records may be requested via an approved HIPAA release form. All record requests will be filled within 10-14 working days after receipt of payment. There is a charge of $.75 per page for all records.

Will I be charged for copies of my records if I am transferring care to another physician?
