ELEMENT
DIRECT
Direct care is a simple and transparent practice model. You receive excellent care for a transparent, reasonable fee.
A direct care system does not participate in or bill any health insurance plans. We are currently considered a hybrid clinic but may slowly move to a direct care model over time.
Eliminating the middle man has several benefits. Your medical records are not sent to an insurance company for a third person to review and determine your personalized treatment plan. Your decisions are kept between you and your doctor. Removing insurance allows our office to offer:
Shorter wait times
More time per visit
No Copays
No surprise bills
Access to discounted laboratory studies
This option makes the most sense if your insurance carrier is out-of-network or if you are self-insured.
