• Direct Primary Care is an alternative payment model that allows transparency between the doctor and patient.

    Direct Primary Care allows doctors to practice medicine without worrying about the escalating documentation demands and administrative intrusions that come with accepting insurance. Insurance companies have incessant, ever-changing requirements they impose on physicians which alters a physicians care.

    Without the bureaucracy constraints of insurance, our doctors spend more time listening to patients. We are also able to eliminate unnecessary costs and pass those savings on to you! We provide a system that is cost-saving and compassionate-serving, in a timely and transparent way.

  • No. Concierge medicine charges a retainer fee and also bills insurance. We will not be billing insurance as your subscription fee will cover all of our medical services (excluding labs).

  • We want to serve our community in the way that will matter most. At Simplified Health, we can develop real relationships with patients by being able to spend more time with them and giving them our full attention. You can expect appointments to be on time and your health concerns addressed in a way that is best for you rather than what is best for the insurance company. With traditional care there is increased costs and decreased patient care. With better access to your physician, there are better health outcomes for patients.

    At Simplified Health, we offer affordable and transparent costs. Please see our membership pricing to find a plan that works for you.

FAQs

  • Your first visit will include an initial health evaluation. As part of this process the doctor will have a conversation with you to understand your health needs and any concerns you have. You will then have numerous office services covered and direct access to your doctor. If you need an appointment, we will work extremely hard to grant you same-day or at the very least, the next day with low wait times in the office. The following are included free of charge: annual physicals, well-child check-ups, sports and school physicals, basic office procedures, treatment of illnesses and injuries.

  • No: We do not offer different plans. The fee for service model that currently exists in traditional medicine is one of the main reasons it is so hard to see your doctor regularly. If the payment structure is based on when a patient comes in, then the goal for a doctor is to turn everything into an “office visit.” Most health concerns can be triaged over the phone. We want to allow patients to have the peace-of-mind that comes from quality healthcare without feeling nickel-and-dimed every time they want to reach out to their doctor.
