At our Universal Primary Care, Houghton location we are able to provide dental, adult, pediatric and behavioral health care. Care Coordinators are also on location to provide patient education such as falls prevention and nutrition classes. We are pleased to provide service to all who seek care despite the ability to pay. Our sliding fee scale and insurance enrollment assistance are provided at all locations.
We understand that obtaining health care services appointments can be challenging – that’s why we offer extended hours and we work hard to accommodate urgent bookings. In most cases, we can provide you with an appointment at your preferred time within just a few days.
We have recently received reports that some patients are being told that Universal Primary Care (UPC) has access to the hospital’s EPIC MyChart system.
To clarify, UPC does not utilize the EPIC MyChart patient portal and does not have access to messages sent through MyChart. Because we use a separate electronic health record (EHR) system, we also have a separate patient portal for communication with our office.
If you are a UPC patient and need to contact our team, please use the UPC patient portal (Healow) or call our office directly. Messages sent through the hospital’s MyChart system will not be received by UPC providers or staff.
We appreciate your understanding and apologize for any confusion this may have caused. If you have questions about accessing the UPC patient portal, please contact our office and we will be happy to assist you.
Thank you,
Universal Primary Care
