Direct Care is a membership model that provides patients with complete primary care services for a low monthly recurring membership fee. This model emphasizes a direct patient-physician relationship that prioritizes patient health and wellness. Direct care is particularly beneficial for self-pay patients or those with high deductibles.
One key advantage of direct care is the absence of office visit fees, co-pays, or deductibles for primary care services. Instead, patients pay a fixed monthly subscription fee in exchange for unlimited access to their primary care provider. This arrangement allows for enhanced accessibility through phone visits and secure messaging via a personal, secured portal account.
Moreover, Direct Care offers discounted cash prices for lab and radiology tests, which can help patients save money on necessary medical services. Direct care also fosters a direct relationship between the patient and their primary care doctor, with the common objective of achieving optimal health and wellness. This relationship does not involve any insurance transactions or third parties, which can streamline the care delivery process.
