Direct Primary Care is a healthcare business model that prioritizes the patient/provider relationship by allowing more time for your needs to be addressed and more access to your medical provider. DPC allows patients to purchase a membership that will give you access to care when you need it without paying additional fees, deductibles or copays at the time of service. DPC covers the cost of routine screenings, management of chronic conditions and acute care visits giving patients more access to their provider directly. Instead of referring patients out to multiple specialists, the DPC model strives to care for as many of the patient’s health needs as possible directly by the primary care provider.

We are in a nationwide shortage of Primary Care Providers, with the average PCP
having a panel of 2,600-3000 patients. Insurance companies have continually
increased requirements for their contracted providers, forcing more providers to
spend more time charting in the EMR than face to face with their patients. DPC
eliminates the middle man and the excessive time spent on measures that don’t
benefit the patient. By keeping our clinic panel under 400 patients, this allows you
to have more time with your provider to discuss your healthcare needs and tailor a
plan that’s specific to your goals.

No. At Hesed Health, we believe that healthcare decisions should be made between the patient and provider without interference or oversite from the government or insurance companies. This allows us more time with our patients and the freedom to customize healthcare services that put the patient and their unique needs above all else. In person office visits and telehealth visits are a part of your membership and do not require an additional copay. Patients are free to use their health insurance to cover lab work, diagnostic imaging and prescription medications if they find it more affordable than the cash pay discounted prices we’ve negotiated.

Direct Primary Care is a healthcare business model that prioritizes the patient/provider relationship by allowing more time face to face with your provider. Without the requirement of obtaining insurance authorization or approvals, we are able to take care of your medical needs more promptly and efficiently; eliminating the need to have unnecessary visits just to bill more. We are making the patient primary in primary care again- considering your schedule and unique needs when it comes to your medical care. Can’t miss work to go over labs? No problem, we can email the labs to you with instructions. Need an after hours appointment? We’ll work to get you in at a time when it’s convenient for you. Because we keep our patient panel small, we have more time to address needs that a traditional PCP may have to refer out to specialists. We recommend that you pair your primary care membership with wrap around coverage. While we can take care of about 85% of your healthcare needs, an insurance plan would help cover you in the event of hospitalization, stroke, heart attack or cancer care.
