Direct primary care allows patients to receive comprehensive healthcare at a lower cost. These days, people can go to the doctor and not know how much their diagnostic tests or procedures will cost. With the direct primary care model, patients always know how much it will cost to visit the doctor.
What is Direct Primary Care?
The direct primary care model allows patients to pay the physician’s office directly through periodic payments. At Choice Physicians Group, our patients pay a flat monthly fee to gain access to the countless services we provide. Direct primary care membership allows patients to receive personalized, coordinated, and comprehensive healthcare.
The pros of direct primary care include:
- Knowing exactly how much your primary healthcare will cost
- More appointment availability
- Reduced pricing on laboratory tests, imaging, and medications
- More in-depth visits with the medical care provider
- Providers can get to know your health history in detail
- Unrestricted access to in-office services
It is easy to choose primary care when you can get so many benefits for a low monthly price.
6 Benefits of Choosing Direct Primary Care
1. Knowing Exactly How Much Your Primary Healthcare Will Cost
Knowing how much your healthcare will cost is essential. So often, people go to the doctor to have an x-ray or procedure done and end up with a bill for thousands of dollars, even after health insurance has covered some.
With the direct primary care model, all the patient pays is a low monthly fee. By paying the low monthly fee, patients have access to personalized healthcare. They can go to the doctor for acute and chronic care without paying an extra charge.
At Choice Physicians Group, we offer discounts on prescriptions and diagnostic tests. So if you need a diagnostic test performed, not only will it cost you less, but you will know how much the test costs before the medical care provider performs it.
2. More Appointment Availability
We make ourselves available to our patients so they can quickly receive the healthcare services needed. We don’t overbook our schedules and have adequate staff, so you can get into our office soon if needed.
3. Reduced Pricing on Laboratory Tests, Imaging, and Medications
The monthly fee includes most of the services we offer. Although, laboratory tests, imaging, and medications are not. We do, though, offer reduced pricing, and your cost will most likely be lower than at a traditional primary care provider.
We are upfront about our costs, so you will know how much the extra charges or fees are before receiving additional diagnostic tests or medications.
4. More In-Depth Visits with the Medical Care Provider
Patients receive the time and attention needed for the medical provider to take an in-depth look at what is happening. At Choice Physicians Group, we strive to provide quality, comprehensive healthcare to each patient and treat them appropriately.
Our patients are not just another number. Our medical care providers take the time to figure out what is wrong with each patient. This can help our patients stay healthy and recover from illnesses faster because they are more likely to receive the appropriate treatment.
5. Providers Can Get to Know Your Health History in Detail
One goal of direct primary care is for the physician to get to know their patient’s full health history. Knowing this information can help them provide quality care and develop more accurate diagnosis’.
6. Unrestricted Access to In-Office Services
By paying the monthly membership fee, direct primary care patients receive unrestricted access to in-office services. So regardless of how many times someone requires medical care, they can get an appointment.
