WHAT IS DIRECT PRIMARY CARE (DPC)?
⎈ No rushed visits (60 min scheduled times)
⎈ Improved availability
⎈ Same/next day appointments
⎈ Direct access to your provider via text/email
⎈ Affordable monthly memberships
⎈ Family/group/employer discounts
⎈ No long-term commitments (cancelling is free!)
⎈ Transparent pricing & discounts
Direct Primary Care eliminates many of the barriers in the "fee-for-service" insurance-based model of care. By bypassing insurance limitations (prior authorizations, therapy restrictions/requirements, not paying or approving labs or images obtained), DPC can provide a much more efficient method of medical management, and provide you with a total body health plan. There's also plenty of time to make sure your questions get answered. If you do happen to have health insurance, you can always use your insurance for any orders outside of the clinic rather than use the member discounts. We know that at times your insurance coverage will be les expensive.
We believe in much more efficient methods of patient-provider contact, such as texting or emailing your provider - directly - when you have medical questions that need answers.
We also believe in price transparency. When you use our member discounts, you not only save money - you also know the precise cost of your labs, images, medications, equipment, etc.
Below are a few examples of ways we can help you save money:
Prescriptions
At Virtue Medical, we carry common prescriptions for blood pressure control, diabetes, infections, arthritis, and others in our on-site pharmacy. We usually keep prices lower than GoodRx©. In fact, we'll check prices to make sure!
If you're paying too much for your medications, we want to help you find a solution. Whether it's through our pharmacy or yours, we'll work with you to find the best price.
Imaging
Local well-known imaging centers provide substantial discounts for direct primary care members. Prices are transparent and up-front.
Includes X-rays, Ultrasounds, CT scans, MRIs, Mammograms, Bone Density Studies, Cardioscan/Calcium Score, and others!
Blood tests/labs
Virtue Medical works with LabCorp to provide VERY low-cost labs. Most labs cost around $10, and a routine physical currently costs around $45.
Just as with prescriptions and imaging, we can always provide you with upfront costs to help you decide how to go about blood/urine testing!
