Frequently
Asked Questions

What is Direct Primary Care (DPC)?

DPC is a model of healthcare that puts patients first by getting rid of the red tape that constrains traditional practices. How? Simply, we don’t process insurance, instead we charge a low monthly membership fee that covers all primary care office visits.

This membership is coupled with discounted medications, procedures, and labs. Believe it or not – this will actually save you money in the long run.

You won’t have to pay a co-pay for any office visits including routine physicals.

You’ll be able to avoid many visits altogether by sending your questions directly to us via email and text- something you won’t get from traditional practice.

We’ve negotiated some good deals for prescription medications, blood tests, and even X-rays on your behalf.

And, we pass those savings right on to you.

The fee covers all the office visits you may need with no copay ever.

This includes the following: annual wellness visits, women’s well visit, sports physicals, school physicals, chronic care office visits, follow-up visits, and treatment of acute illness or minor injuries, all with minimal wait times in the office.

The fee also covers direct communication with your doctor: call, email, or video chat.

Our active members also have access to discounted labs, prescriptions, and special procedures pricing not included in the membership fees.

While you do not need insurance to enroll in our services, we do recommend that you do have insurance to comply with Federal Law. 

DPC is not an insurance plan, nor does it replace insurance.

Ideally, we encourage our patients to carry a high deductible, major medical plan, or a plan with health savings account (HSA).

Having a high deductible or a share plan ensures financial help should hospitalization or referral to a specialist be necessary.

You should consult with your insurance provider to help you find a plan that works best with our medical model and that will meet your specific needs.

Of course! Physician access is one of the greatest benefits of the direct primary care model.

Although we like to try and answer most routine questions and calls during office hourse, we realize illness and injury don’t always happen between 9:00am-4:00pm.

You may call or email your physician whenever you need, as long as it’s not a life-threatening emergency. If you are experiencing a life-threatening emergency, please dial 911 for emergency intervention.

You may call or email your physician whenever you need, as long as it’s not a life-threatening emergency. If you are experiencing a life-threatening emergency, please dial 911 for emergency intervention.

We ask that you give us a 48-hour notice for any cancellations, this allows us to offer that spot to other patients/clients needing services.

If your question/concern was not found here, please call or email us and we will be able to answer your questions or concerns.

NOTE: At this time, we are unable to store vaccinations, please let us help arrange this for you. We follow ALL VACCINATION GUIDELINES set forth by the American Academy of Pediatrics and the American Academy of Family Medicine.
