What is Direct Primary Care?

Direct Primary Care

Direct primary care is an innovative form of medical practice that is improving healthcare access with a simple affordable membership fee. There is no fee-for-service payments nor any third party billing. What makes direct primary care special is the trusting relationship that is able to be formed between the patient and primary care provider. Patients have direct access to their physician and the physician is accountable to the patient (not the insurance companies).

What membership includes at this office:

All office visits are covered under the membership fee at no extra cost. This includes preventative care, chronic disease management, acute illness/injury care, wellness exams, sports physicals, and even full skin mapping.

Procedures are also included at no extra cost, such as laceration repair, minor dermatologic procedures (skin lesion excision/biopsy, cryotherapy, abscess drainage, cyst excision, etc), EKG’s, casting/splinting, ear wax removal, colposcopy, joint aspiration/injections, etc.

Longer appointment times with the physician where the focus is on you, not on the computer screen. There is ample time to answer questions, address concerns, and be sure your healthcare is the best it can be.

Direct access to your physician including timely office visits (often within 24 hours), text messaging, phone calls, email, and telehealth visits.

No or very little wait time in the office for the appointment.

Discounts for lab work and medication have been negotiated for the patient already.

Bring your whole family (all ages!) to the same office for convenient, quality healthcare.
