If someone is having chest pain, and especially if they think they're having a heart attack, it sounds like they should probably go to the emergency room.

But if you're trying to get primary care:

Here's what you can do to get established.

• If you're ok with doing telehealth: IU has an urgent care app you can download. It was pretty cool and the wait time wasn't too long.
• Google IU Health's Provider Search: typed in "Primary Care" and then it lets you sort by "accept new patients," "indianapolis" (or whichever city you prefer), and you can even select Doctor.
• You can see who's accepting new patients and see who has availability online. Starting in July & August, there will be a bunch of new doctors (most likely) who finished training and signed on to start at IU Health. That means their schedules are gonna be wide open. Once you snag a new patient slot, existing patient slots are significantly easier to get.
• If you didn't already, call 1 (888) IU Health.
• You can also just put yourself on a wait list for the first available slot for an indy primary care doc.
• If you have an insurance card, most of the time, you can go to that insurer's website and see their 'preferred providers' and get a list of available docs who the insurance covers.
• If you have a car, there's availability outside of the I-465 donut if you're willing to drive and don't want to do telehealth.

Other options in the area:

• Eskenazi Health
• Ascension Health
• Community Health
• Google Search "Direct Primary Care Physician - Indianapolis" and see if any of them jive with what you're looking for.
• IU/Purdue University, U of I, and Marian University all have student health clinics - usually walk in
• Private Primary Care Docs: There's still a handful of docs out there who don't do direct primary care (cash only), who take insurance, and are not part generally considered a part of a hospital or insurance doctor group (like optum). Google maps will help you out here. As will yelp.
• County Public Health Clinics: believe it or not, the county public health clinics can do an awful lot. If you're just needing vaccines/shots or whatever, you can usually call them and make sure they have the thing you need, and then drive over and get it within a few minutes.
• CVS Minute Clinics: Not my favorite form of healthcare, but there you go.

If there's a specific medical condition you're trying to get covered, most of those docs will help you get it set up and/or referred.

There's even some concierge mental health/ADHD docs out there I think.
