FAQs

Do you take insurance?

We don't take insurance; operate as direct primary care with flat monthly fee.

Is Medicaid accepted?

We cannot accept patients with Medicaid.

DO YOU TAKE MY INSURANCE?

No, we do not take insurance, but this is what makes us great! By financing our clinic with a low monthly patient fee we are free to practice medicine the way you need! We do not have any insurance mandated screening tests or questionnaires. We don't need to limit visit times, telehealth visits or tests. All medical decisions are made between you and your doctor, without any insurance or health system middlemen.

What are the benefits of a direct primary care membership?

Members of a DPC clinic get unlimited office visits at no additional cost. These visits can be as long as you and the doctor need. Because of the relatively small number of patients who are members of the practice, members are able to book same-day or next day appointments.
