DPC is a physician driven movement to bring back “real” medicine…the way it used to be…and needs to be.  It is a membership-based model of care that allows for more personalized, accessible, affordable care.   By removing insurance processing from Primary Care, the overhead is lowered, allowing Drs. Downey and Tiwari the time to focus on what matters…the patient. 

If you are tired of long waits to see your Physician, and then have limited time to discuss your health concerns…then you will love and value the DPC model.  The DPC works well with all situations…including those with high deductible insurance policies, businesses, Health Shares, uninsured as well as Medicare/Medicaid.  DPC works with you to keep out of pocket costs low by providing comprehensive medical care, low cost medications, low cost lab tests…thus reducing the need for outside specialists, unnecessary testing,  However, when needed, you can always use your insurance for labs, imaging, specialists, etc.

-DPC membership includes as many visits as needed with your physician to manage your medical issues, as well as annual wellness visits, well child visits, physicals and GYN services. 
-Direct access to your personal physician by phone, email, text or tele-med during and after hours (*for urgent issues).  
-Same day or next day appointments for urgent issues, and minimal wait for routine issues,
 -In house Pharmacy for select medications/supplements, available at significantly reduced prices,.
-In house lab services at markedly reduced labs costs. (typically >75%  less than the cost of insurance paid labs) 
-Assistance in finding the lowest discounted rates for imaging, procedures and specialists. 
 

No.  CDPC recommends that all patients continue to have insurance to provide financial help in case of hospitalization, accident or referral to a specialist. However, pairing a higher deductible  health insurance plan or Health Share with the DPC model, can offer significant cost savings while providing excellent primary care services, that works to keep you out of the ER/Urgent Care and Hospital.

YES…for any labs, imaging, specialist, ER or hospital visit.
