FAQs

Most patients will continue to receive care from their same, trusted primary care or specialty care provider. If your provider is relocating or will no longer be seeing patients, you should have received a letter with guidance on selecting a new provider. And, at any time, if you have questions about selecting a new provider please contact (866) 536-0617. You may also visit carle.org and select “Find a Doctor” to search for a provider by area or location.

A good place to start is by visiting Carle.org and click on Find a Doctor. This will enable you to customize your search by provider, specialty and/or location along with their contact information.

Call (866) 536-0617 if you need to find a provider or are looking for a new provider.

Carle’s primary goal is to ensure continuity of care and a seamless transition for patients’ insurance coverage. All patients are urged to verify their benefits and coverage with their insurance plan to determine whether services will be covered as in-network or out-of-network benefits. Information about contracts with insurance providers can be found online on our Health Plans Accepted page.

This benefits patients as it allows more efficiency in treatment and reduces duplication of testing for more effective care management.

You can request your medical records by mail, in person or by phone. You can find details on the process at carle.org or call (217) 902-6500. Learn more about requesting medical records.

Immediate Care is now called Convenient Care. Convenient Care is provided at the same locations as before, including Carle Eureka Hospital, Carle BroMenn Outpatient Center and Carle Normal on College. You can find a listing all Carle Convenient Care locations at Carle.org/locations.

Carle has a strong history in central and southern Illinois. We’re committed to expanding to meet the health care needs of patients across the region, which is a vision that we share with the clinical teams at our locations in McLean and Woodford counties. We share equal values and commitment to providing excellence in healthcare. There are evolving needs in the communities and we’re able, together, to meet those needs.

It should not. You will, however, have more options for high quality, accessible care in your area.

Carle and BroMenn have a long history of strong clinical partnerships and this is a natural evolution of our relationship. Our physician groups have partnered with the Carle health system to promote greater collaboration and care coordination for our patients.

This is positive news for patients who will have greater access to more services closer to home. The integration of our locations in the region allows providers to best serve the needs of our patients and communities in Central Illinois.

Carle continues to honor BroMenn and Eureka’s faith-based history and heritage. While those faith-based roots will not extend to Carle, the health system promotes inclusivity and honors all faiths.
