Start with the correct care team

Which Southern Medical Group service should you use?

INTERNAL MEDICINE Adult primary and continuing care

Choose internal medicine for preventive visits, routine screenings, acute adult illness, medication management and chronic conditions involving the heart, lungs, kidneys, digestive system or endocrine system.

Best for: annual care, blood pressure, diabetes, thyroid disease, COPD, cholesterol, arthritis and referrals.
CARDIOLOGY OR VASCULAR CARE A heart, rhythm, artery or vein problem

Use cardiology for heart symptoms, abnormal testing, coronary disease, rhythm disorders, heart failure or valve disease. Use vascular surgery for artery, vein, aneurysm or circulation problems outside the heart.

Best for: AFib, chest symptoms, pacemaker care, heart failure, peripheral artery disease, carotid disease and aneurysm evaluation.
911 OR EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT Symptoms may threaten life or a limb

An outpatient message or routine appointment is not safe when serious symptoms require immediate testing, treatment or hospital care.

Use emergency care for: possible heart attack, stroke, severe shortness of breath, major bleeding, collapse or sudden limb-threatening symptoms.
Practical routing rule: Begin with internal medicine for routine adult care, use the appropriate specialist for a known heart or circulation problem, and call 911 when delaying care could cause death, permanent disability or loss of a limb.

Go directly to the patient task you need

The important details are explained below. Official systems are reserved mainly for the final appointment, portal, payment, form or records action.

Avoid the wrong organization

Southern Medical Group Tallahassee versus similarly named practices

Southern Medical Group, P.A.

Tallahassee-based adult internal medicine, cardiology and vascular care using southern-med.com and TMH MyChart.

Southern Medical Group in Claxton

A separate Georgia primary-care organization using southernmedicalgroup.org and different locations, phones and portal systems.

TMH Physician Partners

The larger Tallahassee Memorial network through which Southern Medical Group services, MyChart, billing and records may be administered.

Identity check: Tallahassee patients should see “Southern Medical Group, P.A.,” “TMH Physician Partners” or a Tallahassee-area clinic address. Do not enter medical or payment information into a portal simply because its name contains “Southern Medical.”
Appointment workflow

How to schedule Southern Medical Group care

Choose the specialty before calling Decide whether you need internal medicine, general cardiology, interventional cardiology, heart-rhythm care, heart-failure care or vascular surgery.
Identify the correct office Southern Medical Group uses several Tallahassee addresses and outreach locations. A familiar physician name does not guarantee that every appointment occurs at the main office.
Check new-patient and referral requirements New patients should call the office. Established patients may request eligible appointments in MyChart. Ask whether specialist records or a formal referral are required.
Verify the exact insurance product Provide the complete plan and network name. Confirm both the physician and the planned location because a general insurer list does not guarantee every product.
Ask about prior authorization Advanced imaging, procedures, devices, surgery and some specialist visits may require insurer approval before treatment.
Confirm every address in the itinerary A consultation, test, procedure and follow-up may occur at different facilities. Save each street address, building, suite and parking instruction.
Bring outside records before the consultation Transfer useful reports early so the specialist can review them before deciding whether testing should be repeated.

MyChart Help Desk: 850-431-6019. Use this number for activation, login, password or expired-link problems—not medical questions.
Portal troubleshooting

What to do when MyChart does not show what you need

You found FollowMyHealth instead Return to the official TMH MyChart page. FollowMyHealth was retired as the active portal in 2025.
Your activation link expired Call the provider office for another link or call the MyChart Help Desk at 850-431-6019.
A new result is missing Most finalized results release quickly, but some sensitive results may not appear automatically. Contact the ordering office.
You need records from before 2022 Use the formal Medical Records process rather than relying only on the current MyChart timeline.
You cannot message the expected provider Confirm that the visit and provider are connected to the account and call the office when the concern is time-sensitive.
You need caregiver access Use the official proxy-access process. Do not share the patient’s password.
The bill is not in MyChart Check whether the service occurred before March 1, 2025 and whether the statement belongs to TMH, the physician or another provider.
Your medical information looks incorrect Submit an amendment request through the TMH Privacy Office rather than editing a note yourself.
Message timing: TMH generally advises allowing up to two business days for a MyChart reply. The message may first be reviewed by a nurse or office staff member and should never be used for an emergency.
Medication workflow

How to request a Southern Medical Group prescription refill

Begin with the pharmacy Southern Medical Group instructs patients to contact the pharmacy for routine refills. The pharmacy will contact the physician when approval is needed.
Start at least 48 hours early Do not wait until the final dose, especially before a weekend, holiday or trip.
Provide the exact prescription Confirm the medicine name, strength, directions, pharmacy and remaining supply.
Check whether monitoring is overdue The provider may require laboratory work, blood-pressure readings, a device check or an office visit before renewing certain medicines.
Avoid duplicate requests Do not ask the pharmacy, portal and several office numbers to send identical requests at the same time.
Call when the situation is urgent Contact the physician’s office if the medicine will run out before the routine process can be completed.
Useful refill message:
“I need a refill of [medicine and strength], taken [directions]. I have [number] doses remaining. My pharmacy is [name and location]. My last appointment or required test was [date]. Please tell me if another visit or test is required.”

Billing changed in 2025

How to pay the correct Southern Medical Group or TMH bill

ON OR AFTER MARCH 1, 2025 Use TMH MyChart

TMH moved newer statements, balances and eligible copays into MyChart and transitioned to paperless billing.

Patients may change MyChart settings or speak with TMH when paper statements are needed.
BEFORE MARCH 1, 2025 Use the legacy payment route

Eligible older bills may require InstaMed rather than the current MyChart payment screen.

Match the service date, statement design, patient name and account before paying.
SEPARATE PROVIDER BILL Identify who issued it

A radiologist, pathologist, anesthesiologist, hospital or another clinician may bill separately from the Southern Medical Group office.

Compare each bill with the insurance explanation of benefits instead of assuming it is a duplicate.

Cost estimate and payment help

Verify insurance before the service Confirm coverage, authorization, deductible, copay and coinsurance with both the office and insurer.
Request an estimate TMH states that patients may request a customized estimate and have a right to receive it within seven business days.
Ask whether the estimate includes professional fees A hospital estimator may cover facility charges without every physician, radiology, pathology or anesthesia bill.
Compare the final statement Match the service date, provider, insurer payment, adjustments and patient responsibility.
Ask for help before collections Payment plans and financial-assistance options may be available when a patient cannot pay the balance in full.
Good Faith Estimate protection: Uninsured patients and patients choosing not to use insurance may request a written estimate for non-emergency care. A bill at least $400 above the estimate may qualify for the federal dispute process.

After the appointment

Results, referrals and next-step troubleshooting

A result appears before the doctor calls Do not change medicine based only on an automated flag. Ask how the result fits with symptoms, earlier results and the complete plan.
The result is not in MyChart Confirm that the test is finalized, that the correct organization performed it and whether the result is restricted from automatic release.
An outside specialist has not received records Confirm the exact secure fax or electronic destination and resend only the relevant records.
Insurance authorization is delayed Ask whether the insurer needs office notes, diagnosis codes, failed treatments, imaging or a specific authorization form.
A monitor or device report is missing Confirm that the device transmitted successfully and that the correct monitoring clinic is connected.
Your symptoms worsened while waiting Call the care team for prompt advice. Use emergency services immediately when serious warning signs develop.
You received two bills Compare the issuer and services. A physician and hospital or another independent professional may bill separately.
The appointment address changed Follow the newest confirmation and call the clinic before traveling when two messages conflict.
Result follow-up script
“I completed [test] at [facility] on [date]. Can you confirm whether the result is finalized, whether Southern Medical Group received it, whether the provider reviewed it and what treatment, repeat testing or follow-up is required?”
Local patient shortcuts

Tallahassee tips that can prevent wasted trips and repeat calls

01
Use the newest portal

TMH MyChart replaced FollowMyHealth. Ignore an older Southern Medical Group portal page directing current patients elsewhere.

02
Save the clinic address

The main office, Heart Rhythm, Heart Failure and Vascular Surgery clinics are separate buildings.

03
Carry a parking method

The main P4 lot and vascular P2 or P3 lots publish a $1 parking cost.

04
Request refills 48 hours early

Begin with the pharmacy and allow time for physician review.

05
Bring prior images

A specialist may need the actual CT, MRI, ultrasound or catheterization images, not only a written report.

06
Match bills by service date

Newer bills use MyChart, while eligible pre-March 2025 bills may use the legacy payment route.

07
Expect separate professional bills

Hospital, physician, radiology, pathology or anesthesia services may not appear on one combined statement.

08
Use formal proxy access

Caregivers should not share the patient’s MyChart password.

09
Call for same-day needs

MyChart messages may take up to two business days and are not reviewed as emergency alerts.
