No, we don't bill or use health insurance. As a DPC practice, we instead offer personalized low-fee monthly subscriptions.

Yes. We recommend our patients have health insurance to help cover any major health expenses such as a heart attack or blood clot.

Yes. You need only sign a one-time waiver declaring that neither you nor your doctor will directly bill Medicare for our services.

Medicare will still cover any laboratory testing, imaging, medications, or hospitalizations prescribed by our offices.

Yes - you will be charged the full monthly membership when you first register.

However, your second month will be prorated - meaning if you signed up on the 25th of the month, your first invoice will include the charge from the 25th - 25th and the second month invoice would only include the prorated charge for the 26th - end of month.

We are not qualified to give tax advice, and there is a disagreement among experts.

You should ask your employee benefits manager or account regarding the use of Health Savings Accounts (HSAs) and Flexible Spending Accounts (FSAs) as possible payment options for your membership.

If you are unable to use these funds to pay for the membership fee directly, there is a good chance that you can still use your HSA/FSA as reimbursement for certain services provided through our office.
