Medicare primary care in Boise that continues between visits.
Same-week first appointments. Dr. Hayton at every visit. And care that keeps going after you leave the office.
One doctor who coordinates it all.
You shouldn't have to keep your doctors on the same page. That's my job.

Care that continues after you leave.
Most of your care happens between appointments. This is where primary care is headed, and how we practice now.
| What comes up | Left to you | How we handle it |
|---|---|---|
| A referral | Waiting for a call, then calling around to check. | We send it with your records, confirm it arrived, and follow up until you're scheduled. |
| The specialist's note | Relaying what the specialist said. | Dr. Hayton reads it, updates your plan, and acts on what belongs to primary care. |
| A hospital stay | Bringing discharge papers to a visit weeks later. | We get the records, contact you, sort out medication changes, and schedule follow-up. |
| Several prescribers | Keeping the list and catching overlaps yourself. | One list, checked for duplicates and interactions whenever something changes. |
How closely we follow you depends on what's going on: more contact when things are changing, less when they're stable.
Start with one visit, build a plan from there.

About cost
Some between-visit care is an optional monthly service billed to Medicare. If it fits, we explain it before you decide.
- Optional. Stop anytime; it ends at the close of that month.
- Cost sharing may apply. With Original Medicare, the Part B deductible and 20% coinsurance usually apply; a Supplement plan or Medicaid may cover it. Medicare Advantage varies by plan.
- One practice at a time. Only one practice can provide it in a given month.
