On the surface, a $30 or $50 copay feels manageable. But when you factor in a follow-up visit, a quick question for a new symptom, and that "non-covered" facility fee, the cost of staying healthy starts to feel like a financial burden.
In the traditional insurance model, every interaction has a price tag. This creates a "barrier to care"—you hesitate to call the doctor because you don't want to deal with the expense or the paperwork.
At W-E Primary Care and Acupuncture, we’ve removed the "per-visit" hurdle with Direct Primary Care (DPC):
One Flat Fee, Unlimited Access: Whether you need an annual physical, a quick check on a nagging cough, or a follow-up on your blood pressure, it’s all included in your monthly membership.
No "Sneeze" Stress: You should never have to check your bank account before deciding to call your doctor. Early intervention is key to staying healthy, and we make it financially effortless to reach out the moment you feel "off."
Transparent Value: By cutting out the middleman (insurance billing), we pass the savings directly to you. No hidden fees, no surprise invoices in the mail three months later, and no "facility charges."
DPC is designed to make healthcare a proactive part of your life, not a reactive expense. When you aren't paying per minute or per visit, you and Dr. Menold can focus on what actually matters: your long-term wellness.
