Not really. Concierge medicine describes a wide array of different practice styles. Some concierge clinics are very similar to Promise, but most have very high overhead, and also bill insurance on top of their membership fee. We intentionally choose to identify as Direct Primary Care because we think this best describes how our practice operates. We offer a level of access often associated with concierge medicine, but at a more affordable monthly rate.

Not at all. In the same way you wouldn’t submit an auto claim to change your windshield wipers (eventually, new wipers would end up costing $200!), our goal is to keep prices honest by dealing directly with our patients.

Sure, there will always be a role for health insurance. While quite a few of our patients don’t have health insurance at all, most opt for plans with higher deductibles or participate in some sort of medical cost-sharing program (Sedera, Zion HealthShare, etc).

There are no extra charges or co-pays for our patients to come for a visit with the doctor. We dispense generic medications and offer lab testing at cost. All primary care procedures performed in clinic are offered with upfront pricing. 

Absolutely. We carry a wide array of generic medications offered to patients at wholesale cost and dispensed straight from the clinic. If you need something that we don’t carry, we’re more than happy to prescribe it to your pharmacy.

Our clinic manages all manner of primary care issues. However, should you need the care of a specialist, we’re happy to help you find the right doctor and follow up with their recommendations. Because we are an independent clinic and not affiliated with any particular insurance network, we are able to refer to a wider array of specialists. 

As easy as we can possibly make it! As a patient at Promise DPC, you’ll have access to your doctor’s cell phone number. Your doctor will be available for texts/calls during business hours and urgent telephone calls after hours if needed. No phone trees, no answering services, no patient portals. We want to be there whenever you need us.
