⎈ MORE TIME
⎈ GREATER AVAILABILITY
⎈ EASY SCHEDULING
⎈ DIRECT ACCESS
⎈ AFFORDABLE
Direct Primary Care (DPC) streamlines healthcare by eliminating traditional obstacles like insurance complexities, long wait times, and high costs, allowing professionals to focus on quality care. Patients can use DPC benefits alongside their insurance for external services and can submit claims to private insurers (excluding Medicare/Medicaid). DPC accepts HSAs and FSAs, offering a more efficient and transparent healthcare experience with better communication and stronger patient-provider relationships.
See below for some examples of ways we help you save money:
PRESCRIPTIONS
We can order prescriptions for almost any condition (i.e. hypertension, high cholesterol, diabetes, infections, arthritis, depression, anxiety, and more) through licensed USA-based distributors. Most can ship to us within 2 day's time. We compare prices of medications to GoodRx© and other similar companies to determine the lowest cost.
You may be paying too much for your medications. We can help you find the best price.
IMAGING
Local imaging centers (Diagnostic Imaging Centers and Element Imaging) provide substantial discounts for DPC members. For example, X-rays for DPC members cost around $30, whereas MRI's may be upwards of $600 - far less expensive than typical costs for the same professional service.
Savings here can be quite substantial, and help you save quite a bit of money.
BLOOD TESTS (LABS), BIOPSIES, URINE TESTS, ETC.
Virtue Medical utilizes LabCorp, who helps us provide VERY low costs for labs. Labs cost as little as $5; routine physical labs costs around $50.
Save on labs and get results sent directly to your email with details about your results.
