Today, we are excited to share the achievement of one of our staff members, who successfully got into the Physician Assistant Masters program at Methodist University in Fayetteville, North Carolina!

Kelly began working at Asheville Neurology Specialists as a Healthcare Operations intern in early 2019. After graduating from UNC Asheville, she became a full time employee with us as our Patient Intake Coordinator.

We are very excited for her to take the next step in her career and attend Physician Assistant school in early August!

Congratulations Kelly!

We are also pleased to announce that three of our Financial Operations team members are now Certified Professional Billers (CPB) through the American Academy of Professional Coders (AAPC). From left to right, Tasha, Financial Coordinator, Ashley, Financial Operations Manager and Katie, Clinical Services Coordinator.

The CPB exam thoroughly covers various types of insurances, billing regulations, HIPAA & Compliance, Reimbursement & Collections, Billing, Coding and Case Analysis. Our financial team utilizes these skills throughout their daily duties to ensure accuracy.

At ANS, we strive to be the best and are committed to quality patient care. We are proud of the dedication shown by our Financial team. Congratulations Ashley, Tasha and Katie!

Asheville Neurology’s Position Statement on the COVID-19 Vaccine

We have received many questions from our patients regarding whether or not they should get the COVID-19 Vaccine. At this time, based on what we know about the Covid-19 vaccine, there are no neurological contraindications for getting the vaccine. This means that what you are being treated for at Asheville Neurology should not prevent you from getting the vaccine, if you choose to do so.

We are recommending our patients get the vaccine if it is available to them, as complications and/or long-term effects from contracting Covid-19 can be serious. However, Asheville Neurology will not be providing the vaccine at our office. You will need to go through your health department to find out when you can get the vaccine based on availability and your health status. Ultimately, it is your decision whether or not you choose to get the vaccine.

If you’ve had a reaction to the flu vaccine in the past, you will need to talk to your primary care provider and/or your health department regarding this and whether or not to proceed with the Covid-19 vaccine.

Sincerely,

Dr. Patton, Dr. Engelbrecht and Dr. Armstrong
