Direct Primary Care, Changing the Paradigm of Healthcare
Your experience with healthcare may be changing as the expectations of accessible, timely and evidence based care becomes more difficult to find. Individuals seeking healthcare are no longer satisfied with long wait times, skyrocketing costs fueled by insurance companies, the inability to be involved in their own care and providers who are being driven by productivity, not outcomes.
This dissatisfaction in conventional healthcare has created an opportunity for Direct Primary Care to become a much sought after alternative to the current system that is creating more sick patients than it is healing. Direct Primary Care is an option for individuals who have no insurance, high deductibles, or simply want an experience that is curated to their individual needs. Direct Primary Care offers the opportunity for individuals to have a direct relationship with their provider. Having access to your provider when you need it has the power to eliminate expensive and unnecessary emergency room or urgent care visits and creates a sense of peace, knowing that the provider you trust is available for questions when needed. When your provider is able to offer longer, same day and next day appointments, testing without insurance pre-approval,lower prices, and accessibility via applications used on a mobile phone, it is no surprise that individuals are flocking towards this model and away from traditional healthcare.
The model relies on an upfront monthly fee or subscription that typically includes unlimited visits with your provider as well as labs and other offered services at a discounted rate, Direct Primary Care practices are able to offer these low costs and patient centered care to individuals because insurance is not accepted- taking the middleman out of the equation.
As a healthcare provider with over 20 years of experience in pediatrics, emergency room medicine and neurology,I am grateful for the opportunity to offer Direct Primary Care services to my community. The Direct Primary Care Model is one that is going to revolutionize and force change in the conventional medical system, and I am glad to be a small part of the movement.
