My patient yesterday said her ER co-pay is going up to $250!
Sure, there might be times people need an ER, such as accidents or chest pains. But some people end up in the ER because they can’t reach their doctor, or they waited to seek medical care until they were very ill.
With my DPC (Direct Primary Care) practice, patients can communicate with me and my office easily, being seen promptly if needed.
So if I can save my middle-aged patient one ER visit, it will have offset more than 3 months of membership with my DPC!
Working for my patients, rather than for insurance companies.
