A movement towards people-first healthcare.
At its core, DPC shifts away from the “assembly line” care that you get from insurance-based coverage and back to the way things used to be, when your doctor really knew you. You and your doctor work together to make a plan that works for you, not one that meets requirements for your insurance company.
THE PROBLEM WITH INSURANCE
We understand how difficult insurance can be. Premiums are expensive and becoming increasingly unaffordable, who you see and where you get treatment is restricted, and coverage is often limited depending on your health conditions. When it comes to visiting a clinic, you also deal with longer wait times, shorter appointments, and overall subpar care.
BENEFITS OF DIRECT PRIMARY CARE
DPC clinics have an average of 500 patients per physician vs. the 2,500-4,000 average you typically see in traditional practices. These low numbers allows us to devote extra time to our patients, with no waiting times in between.
All primary care is covered through one flat monthly fee. Because we do not bill insurance, you don’t have to worry about co-pays, deductibles, or insurance claims. We can also work with you to get steep discounts on services like labs, imaging, and radiology.
