Yes! We know that direct primary care services will provide better access to your doctor that will result in a lesser need for specialty services. However, we also believe it is important to have coverage for catastrophic events, complex conditions, procedures, imaging, and hospitalizations that would require higher levels of care. Costs incurred through such services could be expensive and can be covered under insurance plans.
It’s important to note that certain healthcare services are not included in a DPC membership, such as hospitalizations and specialist visits. Many patients choose a relatively low-cost, high-deductible insurance plan to cover those services.
RISE Direct Primary Care collaborates with various specialists in our community. Many specialists are willing to provide cash pricing for visits and procedures that are often less than insurance costs. We will spend the time to carefully coordinate your care with a specialist team as needed.
