Special Services at Multicare Associates Clinics

Multicare Associates offers the following special services to our patients:

Access Quality Care System

Are we treating you well? Through our association with Access Quality Care System, Multicare Associates participates in the HealthFront care survey. Take the Compare Your Care™ Survey and let us know how you think we are doing. To add your opinion to the survey, please go to Compare Your Care Survey.


Best Practice Guidelines

Multicare Associates is continually in the process of reviewing and implementing Best Practice guidelines. These nationally recognized guidelines ensure that patients receive the latest in medical recommendations for a given service.


Mammography

Mammography is available at Fridley Medical Center. A mammogram is an x-ray of the breast capable of detecting cancerous tumors that are too small to be felt by hand. Mammography equipment is ACR accredited and FDA approved.


Min VAC (MNFVC)

Minnesota Free Vaccines for Children is a state program that provides vaccines that are paid for by the state. Depending on medical insurance, some adults also qualify for this program. Note that this program provides only free serum for the vaccination. The cost of administering the vaccination still falls on the patient.


Physician’s Service Network

Multicare works with other independent clinics in Minnesota through a group called Physician’s Service Network. Our participation in this group helps us increase our purchase power with our suppliers through common purchase contracts. To gain more insight into the size and coverage area of this purchasing group, visit the Physician’s Service Network web site.


Recall Letter System

Periodically Multicare Associates mails letters to patients advising them of suggested applicable preventive health services. Such letters are sent on a "Preventive Health Services" letterhead. These letters, which we refer to as "Recall Letters," are mailed automatically based on information held in our patient and patient billing databases.


Visit Planning

Multicare has implemented a "Visit Planning" program at each clinic to ensure patients receive nationally recommended preventive services within the recommended time intervals.


Web Line

As a new service, we have opened an email link for those who want to request an appointment. Your online request will be emailed to one of our appointment schedulers, who will telephone you to schedule and confirm the appointment. We will attempt to call you within one weekday. Try out this, and other email links, by selecting Contact Us.
