Pricing
We are straight up with this, no gimmicks or hidden fees, just a simple policy that allows us to practice the high level of medical care you expect with no surprises or insurance hassles on your end.
The monthly fee for each member is $50 dollars a month. We ask that you initially commit to 3 months minimum, but you can cancel anytime after that. Office visits are just a $20 co-payment at the time of the visit. There is no limit to the number of office of visits. Office visits are available the same day or next open day in most cases.
Any necessary prescriptions, labs, and X-rays are still covered according to your insurance policy at pharmacies, the lab, and imaging centers.
Cosmetic medicine treatments, bioidentical hormone replacement therapy, Intravenous (IV) nutrient infusions, acupuncture and minor surgical procedures are priced separately from office visits and the monthly membership fee, however, our prices are very reasonable and likely much less than what you pay within your deductible in the insurance racket.
How Many Middle Men Belong at your Doctor Visit?
These days in healthcare, the Insurance Companies are practicing medicine, telling you what tests and treatments you can and can’t have. They are in essence practicing medicine, which is illegal.
Meanwhile, healthcare corporations have bought out physician practices and put them on a treadmill, seeing dozens of patients a day for a few minutes, only enough time to prescribe more medicine. Primary Care medicine has become a “sickcare mill”,
We don’t agree with that. We think medicine should be practiced the way it was intended, between the doctor and the patient, and not the 40 bean-counters in the room.
It isn’t impossible to do.
How We Do It
For about the cost of Netflix or a mild Starbucks habit, you could have a doctor to call your own, to get an appointment when you need one, and to have time to listen to you.
You can get appointments easily, because we limit our practice panel to what we can manage, not what a corporate office demands.
We take an open-minded, integrative approach to improving your health and quality of life.
What is Included?
We offer modern integration with laboratories, pharmacies, and the hospital, so you can go through our portal to get your lab results, test reports, records, and ask the provider non-urgent questions.
We provide referrals to specialists as needed, and will advocate for you when you are having health concerns or a hospital stay.
You can get tested for things like hormone problems, fatigue, early disease detection and prevention, and treatment based on natural therapies, nutrition, and activity, to get you off of medications and increase your “healthspan”, and not just prescribe medications.
We can prescribe medications if needed, including current practices for diabetes management, including long-acting insulin, continuous glucose monitors, and GLP-1 inhibitors like Ozempic and Wegovy. We offer comprehensive lab testing, including A1c, cholesterol, thyroid and more through Quest Labs.
The current insurance-driven medical model doesn’t allow that. That’s why we chose Direct Primary Care, because we love patients and feel privileged to be engaged in the practice of medicine, the way it was meant to be practiced.
