Direct Primary Care Works with Medicare

A common question from our patients in their 60s and up is, “How could your practice at Direct Doctors actually make sense with my medicare?”  It is a smart question.  It’s important to understand how medicare works when you have a doctor, like Dr. Turshen or Dr. Hedde, who does not bill medicare (aka a doctor who is “opted out” of medicare).
​  

At Direct Doctors, patients in the age group of 65 and above will pay a membership fee to have convenient access to their physician.  They will be able to reach their primary care doctor when and how it works for them.  They will avoid long wait times at the office or on the phone.  And, they will have a meaningful relationship with a doctor who knows them well and spends the needed time listening to their needs.  ​
