HEALTH MISSION
I am committed to the health and wellness of all of my patients. My goal is to prevent illness and educate patients about their medical conditions to guide them to better health. I take the time necessary with each patient at each visit to accomplish this.
Unfortunately, an insurance based practice makes it difficult to spend the time necessary to provide good healthcare for each patient. Insurance, in recent years, is tied to an increasing number of requirements in documentation, records requests, prior authorizations and various insurance notices and alerts that take up time and resources, but do not translate into better patient care. The time to process all of this paperwork takes away from the time I have to spend face to face with each patient to understand their needs and concerns. It also is a more expensive way for a doctor to provide care, because it requires more staff to do the extra work.
For that reason, I no longer accept insurance payments for care. Instead, I care for patients through a Direct Primary Care monthly membership based practice.
What is Direct Primary Care?
Direct primary care (DPC) is better access to personalized care from your physician directly to you. By not taking insurance, there is no third party to approve or manage care. This method allows me to limit the total number of patients under my care, so that I am available to see you when you need to be seen. You do not have to wait weeks or months for a visit with me. Without insurance paperwork in the way, I have the time to get you in for most urgent same-day and next-day visits. Patients can visit with me in the office, by phone, or by video, when needed. Direct Primary Care allows for longer visits and more thorough discussions to understand the problem more fully, ask/answer all the questions you have, discuss treatment options, and pick the best course of treatment for you. It eliminates long waits in a busy waiting room.
Direct primary care lowers overhead and aims to make basic needed care as affordable as possible. Membership gives patients access to wholesale pricing on prescriptions and otc medications. Labs and imaging studies are available at discounted rates for those who need or want access to lower cost health care. Payments for DPC are in the form of a transparent monthly membership fee that is consistent and reasonable. There are no per visit fees or unexpected bills in the mail.
Direct Primary Care is personalized care. DPC membership is a great way to stay connected to your primary care doctor so you can get and stay healthy.
If you have any questions, please call or email me.
