Direct primary care is a healthcare model where patients pay a monthly fee directly to their primary care physician, granting them access to a wide range of medical services without the need for insurance. This approach focuses on building a direct, unhurried relationship between patients and their doctors, often resulting in more personalized and cost-effective care.

No. My goal is to be accessible, and appointments will be readily available. Limiting the number of patients in my practice will ensure that I can provide specialized care to each and every patient.

No. INSIGHT does not accept insurance payment for medical services. Rather my stated services are covered by the annual fee.

The following services are included in the annual fee:

• An initial visit to our clinic to complete a comprehensive review of your medical history and to perform a physical examination. During this visit you and I will collaborate on developing your plan of care.
• An annual physical examination with associated lab tests* conveniently drawn on-site including a complete blood count, comprehensive chemistry panel, diabetes screening, and cholesterol panel. 
  *Lab tests that we are not able to do at our clinic, including outside orders from other providers, will be sent to Quest - who will bill your insurance independently.
• Women’s health care including breast exams and pap smears
• Preoperative exams
• Sick visits as needed
• Follow-up visits as needed
• Management of chronic conditions and associated in-person or virtual visits
• Coordination of medical care with your specialists
• Convenient on-site Point of Care (POC) testing with immediately available results including urine dipstick, pregnancy testing, strep, covid and flu testing
• Convenient on-site EKG as part of the annual physical examination when indicated

Yes! Your insurance will be billed directly for lab work that is not part of your annual visit and for all screening and diagnostic testing not done in our office. You will also need your insurance for specialist visits, emergency room visits and hospitalizations.

Some patients use their health savings accounts to pay the annual fee.

You may reach the clinic directly during regular office hours via phone, or text via our secure communication portal - Spruce Health, which populates directly into your medical record. This can also be used after hours for emergency care.

A huge part of my mission is to keep patients out of the emergency room and to avoid unnecessary, often inefficient and duplicative, urgent care centers by providing timely and appropriate care. However, emergencies do happen. INSIGHT patients can receive emergency care at any facility in which they have coverage and I plan to be available for consultation by phone with any emergency care physicians. Emergency room care will be billed directly to your insurance.

I will coordinate closely with the inpatient (hospitalist) team at the hospital where you are admitted, to ensure I have details of the hospitalization and will be able to facilitate a smooth transition home and provide you with timely and appropriate care as an outpatient.

No. Insight is neither an integrative nor functional medicine practice. I am a board certified Internal Medicine Physician.
