Direct primary care is an alternative healthcare model that offers patients direct access to their primary care physician for a fixed monthly fee. You get more personal, accessible and comprehensive care!

Absolutely! The DPC model is designed for uninsured patients. We know our patients are so much more than an insurance card number. By offering direct-to-you healthcare services, we’re cutting out the middle man.

No insurance, no problem.

We do not take any insurance and will not directly bill any insurance company. This allows us the freedom to provide more personalized care free from the constraints of typical insurance models. If you have insurance currently, great! Insurance can still be used to cover the cost of services outside of the scope of our primary care practice such as labs, referrals, and imaging. 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.

We do not accept Medicare as we do not bill insurance for your visits. Medicare patients have to sign a waiver every 2 years declaring that neither you nor your doctor will directly bill Medicare for our services. Although we do not bill Medicare you are still able to utilize your Medicare coverage for all other medical care received outside our practice as well as imaging, labs, referrals, and medications ordered by our office.

We do not accept Medi-Cal as we do not bill insurance for your visits. Although we do not bill Medi-Cal you are still able to utilize your Medi-Cal coverage for labs and medications ordered by our office.

The simple answer is, no! With our Direct Primary Care model, you’re in control of your care. Choose a simple one-time visit fee when you don’t want a long-term commitment, meaning no ongoing direct messaging, no ongoing care and any additional follow-up questions are considered new appointments. Or through the membership enjoy no-cost follow-up visits, direct physician access, ongoing support, and stronger continuity of care with our membership plan. The choice is yours, and either way, you get affordable care designed around you.

As part of our Direct Primary Care model, we believe lab work should never be a source of stress or surprise. That’s why our members receive access to deeply discounted lab pricing, and every patient—whether insured or uninsured—can count on complete transparency in costs. If you have insurance, you’re welcome to use it to cover your lab fees; if you don’t, we’ll provide clear, upfront pricing so you can make the choice that works best for you. Our goal is to keep your care simple, affordable, and centered around your needs.

ABSOLUTELY!

We will happily provide a superbill for you upon request to file a claim with your insurance company. Please note that there is no guarantee that your insurance company will reimburse you.

Those insured by Medicare, Medicaid, Tricare or other government programs cannot submit claims for reimbursement retroactively.

We accept ACH and all major credit cards except AMEX.

We do not accept care credit or checks.
