The other day, a patient came in following a nasty stomach bug and suffering from dehydration. Her heart rate was elevated and she overall just felt terrible.
We got her in same day, started up her IV and got her rehydrated in less than an hour…she walked out feeling like a new person! Plus, the best part is we saved her a costly and time-consuming ER visit!
As a direct primary care (DPC) member, she knew she could reach out to me directly to see if I could help her out before she went to the ER. Basically, her membership with us saved her over $1000…more than her annual membership cost with our DPC practice!
Direct primary care not only increases patients’ access to a primary care provider, but it also allows clinicians to care for their patients’ health AND finances!
DPC for the win!
