Insurance-Pay
Visits are billed per visit; the longer it takes, the more you pay.
Some services may not be covered or require additional out-of-pocket costs.
Difficulty building solid relationships with healthcare providers because it is difficult to get in with the same provider in larger practices
Confusing insurance policies, deductibles, and copays that can lead to unexpected expenses
Limited time spent with the pediatrician leads to a less comprehensive understanding of your child's health concerns.
Scheduling appointments and accessing care can be challenging, especially if you have an urgent need or want to see the doctor instead of the NP or PA.
Referrals and sub-specialist visits can be complex and time-consuming to arrange and are not handled by the physician.
THE DIRECT PEDIATRICS CARE
Difference
Say goodbye to the limitations and frustrations of traditional insurance-based practices—no more rushed appointments, confusing policies, or unexpected expenses. Instead, embrace a healthcare experience that prioritizes your child's well-being. From complete well-child visits to specialized care for acute and chronic conditions, our membership includes a wide range of services to support your child's health at every stage.
In contrast, pediatric practices that utilize a third-party payer (insurance pays) have appointments that feel rushed, relationships with healthcare providers may be strained, and navigating the insurance maze can be a constant source of stress and financial strain. Direct Pediatrics Care (DPC) offers a transparent and affordable flat monthly fee to replace the complex web of insurance deductibles and copays, allowing you to focus on what matters most—your child's health. When urgent needs arise, you can count on easy access to care without worrying about coverage limitations.
