The Physician Group of Capital Health Plan (PGCHP) is focused solely on taking care of Capital Health Plan (CHP) members. Whether you are a long-time patient or new to their practice, every aspect of your patient-centered medical care is coordinated by a primary care physician dedicated to improving your health.
The Physician Group of Capital Health Plan provides evidenced-based comprehensive health care for our patients of all ages, genders, and conditions. Our goal is to promote disease prevention and healthy living, so in addition to diagnosing and treating illnesses, we also provide preventive care, health risk assessments, immunizations, screening tests, comprehensive management of chronic conditions, and education on maintaining a healthy lifestyle.
In addition, the Physician Group of Capital Health Plan utilizes an extensive network of speciality care physicians located throughout our service area who provide care to our members in their own offices. CHP’s network also includes hospitals and other clinical facilities throughout the service area, and Centers of Excellence when medically appropriate.
The Physician Group of Capital Health Plan achieved the National Committee for Quality Assurance (NCQA) recognition as a Patient Centered Medical Home (PCMH) in 2020.
NCQA Patient-Centered Medical Home Recognition raises the bar in defining high-quality care by emphasizing access, health information technology and coordinated care focused on patients,” said NCQA President Margaret E. O’Kane. “Recognition shows that the Physician Group of Capital Health Plan has the tools, systems and resources to provide its patients with the right care, at the right time.
One of the most important health care decisions a patient will ever make is selecting a Primary Care Physician (PCP). At the heart of a Patient Centered Medical Home is your ongoing relationship with a PCP and the Care Team. Your PCP at the Physician Group of Capital Health Plan will provide comprehensive health services through an integrated health care delivery system. Evidence-based medicine and clinical decision-support tools guide decision making. You are at the center of the medical team and actively participated in the decisions concerning your health.
Your immediate Care Team includes your PCP, nursing staff, and reception staff. This team is your health care partner and central coordination point for everything pertaining to your good health. Everything is coordinated across all elements of the complex health care system and communication is streamlined through the online secure patient portal.
Choosing the right physician as your primary health care partner is an important decision. Evidence-based, patient-centered care is what the Physician Group of Capital Health Plan delivers. We offer a wide selection of board-certified, experienced, and caring physicians to address your health needs and goals. If you are a Capital Health Plan member and would like to become part of the Physician Group of Capital Health Plan, please follow the steps below to choose a primary care physician (PCP):

Colorectal cancer is a cancer of the large intestine or rectum, and it is the second leading cause of cancer deaths in the United States. The primary goals of colon screening are to prevent cancer from occurring in the first place, if possible, and to detect colon cancer early, when there are better and more effective treatment options. The American Cancer Society and the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) recommend that everyone should start colon cancer screening at age 45. Everyone should continue screening through age 75, and, in some cases, screening should continue through age 85. Some people are at increased risk for colon cancer due to their family history and should speak with their primary care doctor to ask if screening should start before age 45.
The easiest way to participate in colon screening is by completing a stool kit (commonly called a “FIT kit”). The kit is easy to do and can be completed at home and then be returned to the lab by mail, or it can be delivered to one of the Capital Health Plan (CHP) Health Centers. For the FIT kit, only one small sample of stool is required, and there are no dietary or medication restrictions required.
Another option for screening, which is considered the “gold standard”, is a colonoscopy. The benefit of having a colonoscopy, compared to other screening methods, is that precancerous growths can be detected and painlessly removed during the exam, before cancer cells develop, therefore preventing colon cancer from occurring.
Many people delay scheduling a colonoscopy because they have been told the exam has to be done with IV sedation and, given people’s busy schedules and personal responsibilities, they can’t be “out of it” for a day. And, many people simply don’t want the risks associated of IV sedation. In 2011, the CHP Colon Screening Program began offering in-office colonoscopies which are done at CHP’s Centerville location. There, colonoscopies are successfully done without IV sedation, and the exam is very well tolerated and people can drive themselves to and from the appointment and resume their usual responsibilities immediately after the procedure. If you are a healthy adult and have no worrisome symptoms (e.g., unexplained abdominal pain, rectal bleeding), you can schedule an appointment for your colonoscopy by calling the Capital Health Plan Colon Screening Program (850-523-7350).
There are actually several options for participation in colon cancer screening so if you’re not sure which screening option is right for you, please contact your primary care physician to have an important discussion about periodic screening, the various options available, and the role screening plays in disease prevention.

At Capital Health Plan we realize that it is very difficult to be all that you can be and exercise as you know you should when suffering from acute or chronic pain syndromes. While in the past patients were typically referred to orthopedic surgeons for diagnosis and management of these conditions, many if not most of them are non-surgical problems or at least have potentially viable non-surgical solutions. Those options can be skipped or minimized when consulting with a surgeon. Therefore, in 2007 Capital Health Plan opened an alternative clinic at the Governor’s Square Health Center emphasizing non-surgical solutions when appropriate for many musculoskeletal conditions.
We see patients by referral from the Physician Group of Capital Health Plan, as well as Capital Health Plan members whose primary care physicians serve in the Family Medicine Residency program at Tallahassee Memorial Healthcare. Initial consultations typically take less than two weeks from the time of referral and are affordable for the patient because we collect only a primary care copayment.
Great care is taken to minimize any pain associated with injection by using topical ethyl chloride, very small bore needles and copious injectable anesthetics. We see patients with virtually any kind of musculoskeletal complaint except for those originating in the spine, from young to middle-aged athletes to older patients with debilitating arthritic conditions. We offer a full spectrum of injectable alternatives. However, we do not offer cervical, thoracic, or lumbar epidural injections or peripheral nerve blocks/ablation. If you are interested in receiving any of these services, please see your primary care physician for a referral.
CHP has partnered with Center for Orthopedic and Sports Physical Therapy, COSPT, to speed the treatment and resolution of painful musculoskeletal problems. They are located in each of our clinical sites and are available for same day, walk-in appointments for our in-center patients. They treat a host of conditions from back pain to vertigo and are dedicated to resolving problems with excellent patient satisfaction ratings.
