The Buffalo Medical Group After Hours Care Center, 295 Essjay
Road, Williamsville, NY, offers convenient
evening and Saturday hours for all BMG patients’
non-emergency medical needs. The Center is
open Monday through Friday from 5 to 9 pm,
and Saturdays from 9 am to 1 pm.
The BMG expanded After Hours Care
Center services to our 3345 Southwestern
Boulevard in Orchard Park. Services are
available there from
9 am to 1 pm every
Saturday.
For a non-emergency medical need
that requires attention after regular BMG office
hours (Monday – Friday, 8:30 am – 4:30 pm),
please contact your primary
care physician to schedule an appointment. The 24-hour BMG telephone
number is (716) 630-1000, and an operator is
available at all times to contact your primary
care physician or the covering physician.
Following your visit to the Center, a detailed
report of your evaluation and prescribed
treatment will be sent to your primary care
physician. This will assist your doctor in
planning follow-up care.
The BMG staff is able to perform routine laboratory
testing on site. Blood work results will be
made available to both the After Hours Care
Center health care providers as well as your
primary care doctor.
Routine x-rays also are available at the After
Hours Care Center, and will be performed as
necessary. The results will be interpreted by
the After Hours Care Center physician and
later reviewed by a board certified radiologist
before being sent to your physician.
BMG physicians participate with most insurance
companies, which means that prescriptions
you receive at the After Hours Care Center
should be covered through your prescription
plan. If you require a refill for medication
given to you at the After Hours Care Center,
please contact your physician.
We request that payment be made at the time
of each visit, including any co-pay required
by your insurance. For patients enrolled in
managed care plans, the co-payment is
required and must be presented at the time
of service.
Our physicians participate in many health
insurance plans. The Buffalo Medical Group
will submit charges for covered services to the
plans with which our physicians participate.
If you have a major medical rider through your
insurance company,we request payment at
time of service and will supply you with an
itemized receipt, which you can use to submit
for reimbursement. It is the patient’s responsibility
to pay for that portion of any service not
fully covered by insurance.
The After Hours Care Centers in Williamsville
and Orchard Park should not be used for
emergency or urgent conditions. However,
if you have a medical problem, it is very
important to contact your primary care
physician who will determine if the After
Hours Care Center is appropriate to treat your
condition.
If it is necessary for patients to call the After
Hours Care Center directly, the telephone
number is 630-1151.
