How do I choose the right Rural Health Center in Athens, TN?

Ask about the range of services offered on-site versus those requiring referral to specialists.

Check if the center accepts your insurance, Medicare, or Medicaid, and ask about their sliding fee scale if applicable. Ask about after-hours care, how urgent issues are handled, and connections to local emergency services. Inquire about pharmacy services, lab services, and any telehealth options. Request information about patient satisfaction scores and quality improvement initiatives.
How can I verify licensing for Rural Health Centers in Athens, TN?
CareListings sources provider information from Tennessee state licensing databases and public records. While our directory aims to include licensed facilities, licensing status can change frequently, and we cannot guarantee that every provider's license is currently active and in good standing. Rural Health Clinics must be certified by Medicare and licensed by the state. Verify certification status through the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services or contact your Medicare regional office. Check with the Tennessee Department of Health for state licensing verification. Ask the clinic for their Medicare certification, state license, and proof that mid-level practitioners (nurse practitioners, physician assistants) are supervised by a physician as required by federal regulations. Verify individual provider licenses through your state's professional licensing board websites.
