MRFM Announcement Regarding COVID-19

The Physicians and Staff of MRFM consider the Coronavirus “COVID-19” serious but not an “apocalypse”. Your health and safety is important to us and have provided some basic information below should you have symptoms.

• Have you traveled out of the area or to a foreign country?
• Have you been exposed to someone who has traveled out of the area or to a foreign country?

The following symptoms may appear after exposure to the COVID-19 virus:

• Fever
• Cough
• Shortness of breath

If you or a family member experience these symptoms please call your MRFM Physicians’ office for instructions. Your Physician will work with you on an action plan to best help you recover from the virus.

If your symptoms are severe or you have a life-threatening emergency, please call 911 or go to your nearest emergency room. MRFM does not have the required equipment to treat a severe, life-threatening emergency.

At this time MRFM does not have the capability to test for the COVID-19 virus. We will base our treatment plan on your symptoms.

All MRFM Office locations are open and are seeing patients, however to minimize the potential exposure to someone with the COVID-19 virus we have altered our patient scheduling process.

• Morning appointments are for “well patient” or “routine follow up” visits; i.e. diabetic care, blood pressure check, COPD maintenance.
• Afternoon appointments are for “acutely ill” or “sick” patients; i.e. sinus infection, urinary tract infection. Again, call the office first if you have flu like symptoms.

Altering the schedule in this way will allow our cleaning service team the ability to sanitize our clinics for the next day’s patient’s visits.

MRFM is now offering “Telehealth” and “Videohealth” virtual office visits for those patients that do not want to come to the office or cannot come to the office for a variety of reasons. Please contact your MRFM Physicians’ office to schedule a “Virtual” appointment.
