*UPDATED 6/8/22*
While we obviously believe that DPC is the future of primary care in the United States, we do think that insurance plays a vital role in our health care system. Unfortunately, health insurance is so expensive that many folks think that spending more for a direct primary care membership is not something they can afford. This is often not the case, especially for patients who get insurance through an employer or buy it themselves directly from the insurance company or on the exchange. Whether you’re in your 20s, 50s, or 70s, you may have a parent (or two!) in need of assistance to maintain their health and independence as they age. Many patients are living longer now and the trend has returned to keeping those folks at home as long as possible. We are here to help.
Direct Primary Care practices, like Direct Doctors, do home visits to keep patients healthier longer while at home. We also offer home visits to assisted living facilities, dementia/memory care units, and even some nursing homes. As parents age, they tend to have a harder time with mobility. Leaving the house, especially in the winter months may become dangerous. Getting to the doctor’s office, waiting in the waiting room chairs, sitting on the high exam table, and the return home may be enough to wipe your loved one out for days! We understand. |
