Medicare MEMBER FAQS
Our office hours are:
- If urgent, call the office number and leave a message for immediate callback
- If non-urgent, please send a message via the portal or call back during business hours.
Direct Primary Care (DPC) is a model of primary care practice, where instead of billing insurance, members pay a recurring fee to access services at reduced cost.
A pure DPC accepts no insurances. A Hybrid DPC accepts and bills at least one insurance.
We are a Hybrid DPC that accepts only Medicare.
Medicare members have a separate billing system. See above.
Insurances reimburse providers often much less than they are billed. This means that providers need to see more patients to make up for this loss in revenue. This leads to rushed visits, missed opportunities for optimal quality of care, frustrated patients and burned-out healthcare teams.
By taking payments directly from the patient, the DPC provider can assure consistent, timely payment for services, which means lower panel sizes, better access, and more time with each patient. DPC patient and provider satisfaction scores are significantly higher than insurance-only based practices.
