But what is direct primary care, and how is Verve’s different?
Why are thousands of people each year leaving their traditional insurance-based primary care in favor of direct primary care?
Let’s explore the basics of direct primary care and how this approach to health solves many problems facing today’s healthcare system.
What is Direct Primary Care?
Direct primary care is a healthcare delivery model that offers patients an alternative to traditional insurance-based primary care. In this model, patients pay a monthly fee directly to the primary care practice for comprehensive, unlimited access to preventive and primary care services. The fee is paid on a subscription basis, i.e., a membership, with no deductibles, co-pays, or co-insurance to deal with.
What Problems Does Direct Primary Care Solve?
Too many Americans feel frustrated when it comes to healthcare quality and costs. Nearly 75% of all Americans feel anxious about the rising costs of healthcare. Many people avoid going to the doctor because the system is just too complex, frustrating, and costly. There’s something wrong with this picture.
Going to the doctor should leave you feeling hopeful and confident. You should receive clear answers to your questions, along with a top-notch treatment plan that gets to the root cause of your symptoms. Billing should be upfront and predictable, allowing you to budget for annual medical needs.
DPC is becoming increasingly popular as a way to address the rising costs of healthcare and provide patients with more personalized and accessible medical care. In the traditional insurance-based system, patients pay a monthly premium and then have to cover deductibles, copays, and non-covered procedures. With direct primary care, you’ll receive your primary care for one simple membership fee. No unexpected costs or surprises. If we do refer you to a specialist, we make sure you receive high-quality, affordable care.
Verve Health is committed to personal practitioner-patient relationships. We aim to give each client at least 30 minutes per appointment so that you never feel rushed. Overall, we keep considerably fewer patients on our schedule so that you can easily make appointments and feel like your health is a priority for our team. Because it is!
With traditional primary care, you might have to schedule an appointment weeks in advance just to follow up with your primary care provider. That can be stressful since your health might require immediate attention. With Verve, you can contact our team by phone or text. We’ll be here to check your lab results, provide recommendations, and get you the help you need.
Fee-for-service doctors are overworked and typically lack the time to determine the root cause of chronic issues. If you suffer from fatigue, indigestion, headaches, pain, and other uncomfortable symptoms, then you might not have had much luck getting answers from traditional primary care. We prioritize testing and assessments with our precision diagnostics. We pinpoint where an individual is on the health-disease continuum so that you can receive the care that’s right for you.
