Concierge direct primary care. Low monthly fee

Ongoing patients get all the primary care consults that they want as part of a low monthly fee.  HCDTO now offers DPC (direct primary care) as one of our continuing efforts to improve patient care.

    Individual   $89 per month

    + Spouse     $69 

    + Children  $29 each (consults for illness, without vaccines)

This is concierge-level direct primary care plan exclusively for our ongoing patients. We believe our direct primary care, with the option of more intensive treatment at your home, reduces your total out-of-pocket medical spending AND provides better care.

How to get started 

Step one: Schedule your initial intake visit in your home (includes labs, ECG and about an hour with the provider).

Step two: You decide you love us.

Step three: You say "...start me up with direct primary care coverage."

What we do 

We will treat all your unexpected primary care needs in the most efficient manner using methods with the lowest cost to you. Our team is available to answer your questions on the phone and manage your primary care as often as you need us — for one low monthly price.  

The range of other options include a video consult, a nurse who knows your case dispatched to your home for IV fluids or other care, an MA arriving at your home for lab draws or an in-depth face-to-face consult with a doctor, specialist coordination and more..  No matter what we are doing for you, we will always share the range of choices.  From the least expensive to the highest service.   

The relaxed pace of our appointments means we KNOW you.  We do not order unnecessary tests, avoid unnecessary ER trips, and reduce hospitalizations. This is not defensive corporate medicine. This is great care simply by knowing you better. 

Leverage your high deductible insurance 

You can use your existing high-deductible PPO or Medicare insurance to cover outside labs, X-rays, CT and MRI imaging, physical therapy, visiting nurses, specialists and hospitalizations.  

Our direct primary care includes free orders and consults for all of the labs, imaging, therapy, nursing, specialists and hospitalizations described above.

Low cash prices 

While we never recommend being un-insured against catastrophic medical problems, but for those without insurance, we keep track of how to find the lowest cash prices for outside services.   We cover all your primary care.

When you need more hands-on at home  

We offer direct primary care members easy to understand add-on services for situations that need more complex treatment at your home:

For example:

    We order, you walk into the lab for blood draw     $    0 

     Phlebotomist  draws labs at your home                 $  40

     Triage, treatment and IV fluids at your home        $ Call

     MD or PA-C treatment at your home                      $ Call

Going forward as a direct primary care patient, you have 24/7 phone access, with options for never rushed, same day or next day appointments in your home or your office.

Medicine has changed over the past 20 to 40 years with massive additions of technology and reduced time with patients.  The cherished doctor-patient relationship has evaporated, faded out and mostly vanished.  

We do better.  Our patients feel connected to their doctor.   

This quote from a Washington Post article sums it up nicely:

As a physician “….I would reinvent myself today as a “confidentialist”.  Someone who has the time to really get to know a patient.  Someone available to be confided in.  An advocate, not just for the moment, but across time.  An explainer about what’s wrong; an educator about what will help and what will not.   Someone who has the knowledge and confident wisdom to stand down the legions of specialists with the scalpels, catheters and scopes; the backbone to stand up to bottom-line toeing administrators and self-serving insurance execs and policy wonks.”    - Jerald Winakur MD

It’s a heck of a job.  We love it.

That means that, yes, we will get out of bed at 3 AM and come to you.   We will even listen to you at 3 AM.

If you want this relationship, then it’s time for an honest discussion about how to have a private physician 24/7 and still leverage ObamaCare or an individual PPO insurance in YOUR favor for a change.

Smart patients are combining our individualized concierge service in their home — WITH their major medical PPO insurance or Obamacare PPO plan backing us to cover hospitalization, specialists, labs and medications.

Call and we'll help.
