Pediatrics & Internal Medicine-Wade Hampton

Become a patient

The providers and staff at Prisma Health Pediatrics & Internal Medicine–Wade Hampton are excited to have you as a new patient. We look forward to providing you with the highest-quality compassionate care that you will find in the Upstate.  At Pediatrics & Internal Medicine–Wade Hampton, we consider it a privilege to partner with you and work together to meet your health care needs. We are also passionate about preventive care. We want to both provide the highest-quality disease management and also take the time to work with you to prevent future problems down the road.

What to expect on your first visit

The typical new-patient visit is a consultation in which your new provider will take the time to get to know you personally as well as your medical issues. Devoting this extra time at your initial visit allows us to gain a solid foundation of your health information that will result in us providing you with the highest quality care. After your initial consultation, we will together determine when lab work, additional testing and/or a physical are needed.

Services we provide

After-hours emergencies

For all medical emergencies, call 911. After hours, one of our providers is on call. Please call our office to speak with our nurse triage line. Remember that antibiotics and pain medications are NOT called in after hours, and be sure to have your pharmacy’s phone number handy when you call.

Insurance and payment policy

We accept most insurance plans and, as a courtesy, file insurance claims for you. Please be aware that your co-pay or deductible is due at the time of service. It is your responsibility to inform us of changes with your insurance plan. Although we file claims for you, you are still responsible for your bill, regardless of the amount your insurance company pays, except in cases of pre-negotiated insurance agreements and where legally prohibited.

If your insurance requires a referral for a specialist or prior approval for testing, our staff will make every effort to provide your insurance the necessary information.

If you do not have insurance, payment is expected at the time you receive services. A discount of 30 percent is given for cash-paying patients.
