No, we do not take any insurance and will not directly bill any insurance company. This is what allows us the freedom to be unique and more personal. Insurance is still needed for the services outside of the scope of our primary care practice however. Check with your tax expert or human resources department regarding the use of health savings accounts or flexible spending accounts. There are a number of different types of health plans out there and direct primary care practices can combine well with them to allow for improved patient care.

Direct Primary Care (DPC) is an innovative healthcare model where physicians partner with their patients to provide primary care services under a flat, periodic membership fee. By moving outside of the administrative burdens of the traditional insurance-based billing system, DPC practices are able to provide a wide spectrum of care in a transparent, affordable manner. DPC practices—now a grassroots movement numbering over 1000 nationwide—are able to do this while offering patients a higher level of service, communication, and relationship, than what is often found in our dysfunctional healthcare system.
