Frequently Asked Questions

Find clear answers about our direct primary care, telehealth, and clinic services.

Direct Primary Care is an innovative healthcare model where patients pay a clear, flat monthly membership fee directly to their provider. This eliminates insurance billing hassles, long waiting rooms, copays, and rushed visits, giving you unlimited access to unhurried medical care.
No insurance is required! DPC works wonderfully for uninsured individuals as well as those with high-deductible insurance plans or Health Savings Accounts (HSAs). We recommend pairing a DPC membership with high-deductible catastrophic coverage for hospitalizations.
Virtual visits allow you to connect directly with Nacole Brown, MSN AGPCNP-BC via secure video call or direct messaging from your phone or computer. Perfect for routine check-ins, medication refills, rash assessments, and acute illness consultations.
As a DPC member, you enjoy deep wholesale discounts on routine lab panels (often 80% to 90% lower than hospital retail costs). Prescriptions can be sent electronically to your pharmacy of choice.
Yes. UHS Healthcare DPC memberships are month-to-month with no long-term contracts. You may cancel at any time with 30 days written notice. There are no cancellation penalties or hidden fees.
DOT/FMCSA physicals are a separate fee-for-service appointment and are not included in the standard DPC membership. However, as a member you receive a discounted rate. Appointments are available with no waiting room delays, plus dedicated Wednesday walk-in hours.
Absolutely. Our American Heart Association BLS CPR certification classes are open to everyone — patients, employees, healthcare workers, teachers, and community members. Group and corporate rates are available. Contact us to schedule a class for your team.
UHS Healthcare is based in Columbia, SC and serves patients across Richland County, Lexington County, and surrounding Midlands communities. Telehealth services are available to residents across South Carolina. Call us to confirm availability for your area.
We offer convenient scheduled appointments for all our medical services and physicals. Wednesdays are specifically dedicated for walk-in visits. Virtual telehealth consultations are also available for flexible, remote care.
Iontophoresis is a non-invasive treatment that uses a mild electrical current to deliver medication through the skin. It is highly effective for localized pain and inflammation (such as tendinitis, bursitis, and carpal tunnel syndrome), hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating), and certain skin conditions. It is needle-free and typically requires no downtime.
UHS Healthcare operates outside of the traditional insurance system, which keeps your costs low and visits unhurried. We do not bill Medicare or Medicaid for DPC membership visits. However, Medicare members are welcome to join — the monthly membership fee is typically very affordable and complements your existing coverage. Certain fee-for-service items may be separately billable.
Getting started is easy. Simply click "Book Appointment" on any page, fill out the short form, and our team will confirm your first visit within 24 hours. You can also call us directly at (803) 381-7489 or email info@uhshealthcare.com. No referral is needed.
