Common Questions
- Who can become an Oak Street Health patient?
Our doctors specialize caring for anyone with Medicare, including Original Medicare Part B, select Medicare Advantage plans, Medicare Supplement or Medigap plans and Medicare-Medicaid Plans.
- What hospitals do you work with?
We work with any area hospitals that accept your insurance.
- Is preventive health a new kind of medicine?
No. Preventive care is nothing new. It just isn’t practiced by everyone. But as Medicare primary care doctors for seniors, we know that preventive medicine means being able to keep you healthier and out of the hospital more often. Plus, it’s far less costly to treat you when you are healthy than when you are sick.
- How do I or a family member become an Oak Street Health patient?
Call (888) 812-1183 to find a Medicare doctor near you and learn more about becoming a patient at Oak Street Health. You can also stop by your nearest center or fill out a become a patient form, and we'll be in touch.
- Can I get tested for COVID-19 at the center?
Testing is very limited nationally at this time, but may be available for Oak Street Health patients when determined clinically necessary. If you have flu-like symptoms, we will connect you with a nurse or provider for assessment and to determine the next steps that are best for you, which may or may not include testing. We can also support patients in identifying other resources, including those for testing, in the community.
Why is primary care important?
Primary care plays an essential role in your overall health. Even when nothing seems wrong, regular checkups and screenings can help detect underlying conditions that don’t present with symptoms. Primary care is your first point of contact with the healthcare system and your primary care team has more in-depth knowledge of you and your medical history—making them an important part of your preventive health care plan.
What is preventive care?
Preventive healthcare is all about spotting minor issues in your health before they become major problems. This includes screenings, check-ups, and patient counseling to prevent disease or other illness. Preventive care also deals with managing existing illnesses by monitoring them to slow the progression.
Having a reliable primary care practice or physician ensures you’re getting the treatment you need and that your medical needs are addressed sooner rather than later.
