Sovereign Medical Services

Sovereign Health System is a fully integrated, multi-specialty community healthcare system . . . close to home.

That description contains a lot of terms – and a lot of meaning. Here’s what it means for our patients.

Too often, people are expected to be not only patients but also experts at navigating the healthcare system. When referred from a primary care physician to a specialist, the patient can be expected to explain to the specialist all of the primary care physicians’ findings, concerns, and requests. The patient can be made responsible for picking up films of imaging studies and bringing them to one or more physicians, and for telling the insurance company the reasons a test has been ordered. This was difficult even in simpler times. In today’s increasingly complex healthcare environment, it is utterly impractical and unreasonable. At Sovereign Health System, we have fully integrated our services so that patients can focus all of their energies on their health. This integration involves the use of a sophisticated electronic medical record (EMR), so that physicians and others throughout our system have easy access to important information about your medical history. It means speeding your path from one of our primary care physicians to a specialist with expertise in your condition. And it means helping you deal with insurers, managed care plans, and their paperwork and requirements. As a patient, your job is to do everything you can to enjoy the best possible health. At Sovereign, our job is to do everything we can to ensure that this is not just your primary job but your only job.
