FAQs

  • Q: Do I need to be homebound to receive services at home?

  • A: Medicare no longer requires patients to have a medical reason for not going to the office; it only requires a medically necessary reason to be seen by a healthcare provider, which makes most seniors with Medicare eligible for house calls.
     

  • Q: What insurance plans do you accept?

  • A: We accept Medicare Part B and Curative at this time. We are working on credentialing with Medicare Advantage and commercial insurance plans, including Humana, UHC, Aetna, Cigna, etc., and will update this page as we join their networks. 
     

  • Q: Do you accept Medicaid?

  • A: We do not accept Medicaid.
     

  • Q: Do you draw labs?

  • A: We draw labs in the office only for an additional fee of $20. In-home, we may refer you to a mobile lab that comes to your house and collects necessary lab specimens if you desire. However, depending on the lab, this service may cost you an additional convenience fee. 
     

  • Q: Do you prescribe opioids?

  • A: We refer our patients to a pain specialist in your area for management of chronic pain. 
     

  • Q: How much does a home visit cost without insurance?

  • A: An initial visit costs $250/visit. Subsequent visits cost $65 for telehealth and $150 for in-person visits if you wish to enroll in Direct Primary Care membership (DPC). The DPC subscription option is available for patients up to 65 years old who are not Medicare beneficiaries.

​

  • Q: What is Direct Primary Care, and what does it mean?

  • A: Direct Primary Care or DPC is an innovative alternative payment model where the provider charges the patient an affordable monthly subscription fee. The DPC allows patients to gain unrestricted access to their provider and address health needs that are not typically covered by insurance, such as weight loss medications, bioidentical hormone replacement treatments, functional medicine, etc. The amount of the fee usually depends on the patient's needs, chronic conditions, and age. DPC does not replace insurance plans that may pay for certain laboratory testing and imaging, regular medications, or specialty/emergent care.
     

  • Q: Do you assist with weight loss?

  • A: Obesity is considered a chronic disease, so we assist and provide medical and pharmacological treatment for obesity.

​

  • Q: Do you prescribe Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT)?

  • A: Yes, as a part of our Primary Care Services. However, the treatment usually requires additional labwork and consultations, which are not covered by membership fees and will be provided for an additional reasonable fee.

​​

  • Q: Do you administer intravenous fluids and medications?

  • A: We do not administer IV fluids or medications but refer to IV clinics whenever such treatment is prescribed and medically necessary.
     

  • Q: Do you see patients on weekends?

  • A: It depends on the patient's acuity and our staff's availability. Weekend visits are possible but not usually planned.

​

  • Q: Can I pay cash for one time visit, and what is the price?

  • A: Yes, we accept cash pay on a pay-per-visit basis for non-Medicare beneficiaries. Acute walk-in visit is $99, and first-time comprehensive visit (requiring referrals/ lab orders/medication/multiple condition review) is $180 with follow-up as needed visits for $99 per visit. Telehealth visits are $65 for all non-member private pay clients. Price is subject to change depending on additional services required during the visit (injections, documentation, wound care, etc.)
