Before the moving truck arrives

Your care checklist

Confirm insurance networks. A nearby building does not mean your plan treats it as in-network.

Transfer prescriptions early. Do not wait until the bottle is empty and the prescriber is on vacation.

Ask about specialists. Some specialty care may require travel to Chattanooga, Asheville, Knoxville, Gainesville, or Atlanta.

Save emergency routes. Check the actual drive from the property—not a generic mileage estimate.

Bring records. Medical, dental, vaccine, and veterinary records make first appointments much easier.

Verify current details. Providers, services, hours, and after-hours coverage change.

This directory is for orientation, not medical or veterinary advice. Call 911 for emergencies. Confirm current hours, services, insurance participation, appointment availability, and after-hours procedures directly with each provider.
