Putting Patients First
From the beginning, Dr. Jennifer knew she wanted a deeper connection with her patients. She chose to establish her practice using the Direct Primary Care model, where members pay a monthly fee for care.
Direct Primary Care
Direct Primary Care is a growing movement of doctors and patients who want an alternative to insurance plans that limit doctors’ time with patients and increase overhead costs. This means more time to explore the root causes of concerns in longer office visits, and direct communication with patients whenever they need it. It also means less overhead spent on the bureaucracy of billing and negotiating with insurance companies. This translates into lower costs for patients, who enjoy a fixed monthly fee for routine care and also generally choose a high-deductible insurance or cost sharing plan for emergencies.
“Direct Primary Care allows me the time and availability to provide the kind of care I believe in.”
— Dr. Jennifer
