How does insurance work in all of this?

Your insurance may be used for outside testing, referrals to specialists and hospitalizations you may require. We do not participating in any insurance billing, including Medicare and Medicaid.

If your insurance is an HMO, you will need to also maintain care with an in-network provider for any consults or testing that requires a referral.

Can I use my HSA or FSA to pay for the monthly membership fee?

What makes this better for patients?

Your provider is not paid per appointment. This allows them to spend more time with you. When providers are rushed to go from patient to patient, that pressure can prevent good listening, which is required for accurate diagnosing and a treatment plan that is best for you. Ultimately, your provider is able to give you better care allowing you to save time and money.
