Direct Physician Care (DPC) is an insurance-free model of practicing medicine with the ultimate focus placed on the singular most important relationship in today's healthcare - that between the patient and their physician.
“THEIR WAY"
7-10 minute visits because you are one of 20-25 patients being see that day
A Practice with 2500-3000 patients
Only available during work hours, long turn around time for return call
A receptionist telling you “we can squeeze you in", or waiting several days or weeks to be seen
Doctor glued to the computer screen during your exam.
Not knowing which physician/PA/NP will be seeing you for sick visits
Paying inflated insurance-dictated costs for labs/imaging studies
Paying inflated prices for rushed visits at Convenient Care/Urgent Care
Billing based on relative-value units (RVUs), which incentivize doctors to code office visits for maximum insurance reimbursement
You don't know what you will owe until several weeks or months after the visit when you receive the bill
"MY WAY"
30-60 minute visits (or longer if needed), unhurried and thorough
Practice limited to 500-600 patients
Access to Dr. Urick through a private cell phone number
Same or next business day appointments
Undivided attention during your visits
Always see your DPC physician who knows you and your health history
Deeply discounted cash prices for lab testing and imaging (X-ray, CT scan, MRI)
Rapid testing (strep, urine dip or flu testing) included in monthly fee
Physician paid based on monthly fee and not billing insurance for visits - unlimited visits for no extra cost
A relationship built on transparency - you know the cost for any outside testing upfront.
NO INSURANCE - NO PROBLEM! We don't take insurance. We don't bill insurance.
