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

​

• 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 of obesity. 
   

• 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.
