Selecting a primary care physician is a crucial step in managing your health, and at MedBridge WV, we are dedicated to making this process as seamless as possible for our patients. Here are some important factors to consider as you look for the right provider within our practice:

If you’re considering MedBridge WV for your primary care needs, it’s important to make sure your health insurance plan is accepted before your first visit. Here are some steps to help you verify your coverage:
Check Your Insurance Provider’s Website:
Most health insurance companies offer an online directory where you can search for in-network providers. Enter “MedBridge WV” or our providers’ names to see if we participate in your specific plan. You can usually filter by location, specialty, and plan type for the most accurate results.
Call Your Insurance Company:
The customer service number is typically listed on the back of your insurance card. When you call, ask the representative to confirm whether MedBridge WV is in-network for your plan. Be sure to provide the full name of your plan and our practice name for the most accurate information.
Contact MedBridge WV Directly:
Our staff is happy to assist with insurance questions. When you call our office to schedule an appointment or inquire about becoming a new patient, let us know the exact name of your insurance plan. We can check if we accept your plan and answer any questions about coverage or billing.
A Few Helpful Tips:
Insurance networks can change, so even if MedBridge WV was previously in-network, it’s a good idea to confirm each time you make an appointment.
After speaking with your insurer or our office, consider double-checking through your insurance company’s website or requesting written confirmation to avoid any unexpected out-of-network charges.
At MedBridge WV, we want your experience to be smooth and stress-free. If you have any questions about insurance or billing, please don’t hesitate to contact our front desk team for assistance.
At MedBridge WV, we believe regular check-ups are an essential part of maintaining your overall health and well-being. How frequently you should visit your primary care provider (PCP) depends on your age, current health status, and individual risk factors. For most healthy adults in our community, we recommend scheduling an annual check-up. These yearly visits at MedBridge WV allow our dedicated healthcare team to monitor your health, update necessary vaccinations, perform important screenings (such as for high blood pressure, diabetes, and cholesterol), and discuss any concerns or changes in your lifestyle.
If you have ongoing health conditions—like diabetes, heart disease, or asthma—or if you take regular medications, your MedBridge WV provider may advise more frequent visits. Our team is committed to helping you manage these conditions and adjust your care plan as your needs change. Older adults, especially those over 65, or individuals with multiple risk factors may also benefit from seeing their provider more often.
For our younger patients, children and teenagers, we follow pediatric guidelines that recommend more frequent visits during infancy and childhood, then annual check-ups during adolescence. Women’s health services, including routine gynecological exams, are also provided here at MedBridge WV, ensuring comprehensive care at every stage of life. If you have a family history of specific illnesses, we may suggest earlier or more frequent screenings tailored to your needs.
Our experienced PCPs are fully trained to diagnose, treat, and monitor these common long-term illnesses. For patients with diabetes, MedBridge WV offers comprehensive care that includes ordering essential lab tests, prescribing medications like insulin or oral hypoglycemics, and providing personalized guidance on diet, exercise, and other lifestyle changes. We also keep a close watch for potential complications—such as kidney or eye issues—and will coordinate referrals to specialists if advanced care is needed.
Similarly, if you have hypertension (high blood pressure), our MedBridge WV team can accurately diagnose your condition, recommend lifestyle modifications, and prescribe the appropriate antihypertensive medications. We provide regular follow-ups to track your blood pressure, adjust your treatment plan as needed, and screen for related complications such as heart or kidney problems.
For most patients, the team at MedBridge WV can manage these chronic conditions effectively, ensuring that care is consistent and coordinated. However, if your situation becomes more complex or complications arise, our PCPs work closely with trusted specialists—including endocrinologists and cardiologists—to ensure you receive the best possible care. To consult our professionals, please contact us today or book an appointment online. We have three convenient locations in Fairmont, Kingwood, and Mannington WV. We serve patients from Fairmont WV, Mannington WV, Kingwood WV, White Hall WV, Pleasant Valley WV, Monongah WV, Barrackville WV, Metz WV, Terra Alta WV, Anderson WV, and surrounding areas.
