"Direct Primary Care. It's How Medicine Should Be."

We Do Not Accept Insurance – means we do not accept any money from insurance companies (Medicare, Medicaid, or any corporate driven entity).

We Do Accept Patients With or Without Insurance – While we do not get paid by insurance or Medicare, much of healthcare is quite expensive and it is nice to have insurance "to pay for things” like out of office labs, imaging studies, specialist referrals, or hospital stays. Because of how we charge (see below options), our patients can’t “file” our fees with their insurance company or Medicare after the fact. (per our financial agreement) If you have insurance or Medicare it will still cover out of office labs, referrals, hospital stays etc. just as it would with any other provider.

We Charge A Monthly Fee – Instead of charging for each time a person comes to the office.  There are no added surprise fees or copays for coming to our office or for a telemetry visit.    Why? There are several advantages of doing things this way:

1. We are much more willing to handle things over the phone, via secure messaging, and/or Telemedicine as our revenue doesn’t rely on a busy office.

2. Our office is more flexible, so when you do need to come in there is usually very little wait time.

3. You are not penalized for being sick by having to pay more.

4. You never have to worry about having enough money to come to the office.

5. We can focus on people rather than getting every $dollar out of each visit.

The Monthly Fees Are Low and Affordable compared to Regular Insurance

We Offer Low-Cost Lab Tests and Procedures – keep costs as low as possible for our patients Some tests (like cholesterol testing, urinalysis, and strep testing) is included in the monthly fee. “We will be offering discounted labs to cover things we cannot perform in the office. This would lead to significant savings for uninsured patients. If you have insurance you can file them as you would normally if you wish. A list and prices will be published.

We do NOT routinely prescribe long term narcotic (pain), benzodiazepine (anxiety), or stimulant  medications for any new patients.     “If you feel you require long term therapy with these medications we can assist you in referral to pain management or other  appropriate specialists. Please see  our controlled substance policy for information and explanation.
