Medical Deductible vs. Direct Primary Care
Typical Health Insurance Plan | Direct Primary Care (DPC) |
---|---|
The average medical deductable is between $3000 – $6000 per year. | The average yearly concierge fee for DPC is $900 [1] . That's 75% – 85% less than your deductible. |
Insurance kicks in after you pay your deductible. This means a huge out of pocket expense. | $75 per month gets you unlimited visits with no copays, visit fees, or deductibles. You'll also get 24/7 access to your doctor and discounted medications. |
You won't know the cost of things like doctors visits, labs, wart removals, etc., until down the road when you receive the bill in the mail. | DPC offers complete transparency. You will know all costs on the day of service. Most procedues are included, such as in office surgeries, sutures, EKG, stress tests, and more. |
So why choose DPC? | |
You are paying cash for almost everything for the same poor access, short visits, and poor relationship with your doctor. | For about $2.50 per day, you get around the clock access to your doctor, a real relationship, long appointments, no crowded waiting rooms, and a doctor when you need them most. Plus so much more! |
