Direct Primary Care is a Money Saving Move According to Consumer Reports

The end of the year is often a time of goal setting for the New Year.   Is managing your money well a high priority for 2019?  If it is, we are delighted to affirm to you that direct primary care is a wonderful avenue to save you money.  This doesn't just come from us, it is supported by Consumer Reports newly posted article entitled "5 Smart Money Moves For 2019".  According to the article "Direct Primary Care (DPC) services can be cost-effective and convenient for people with chronic health problems that need close monitoring, such as diabetes, high cholesterol, and hypertension."  The article later adds that, "for people who make frequent appointments with their primary care doctor, joining a DPC practice could cost less than using the coverage provided by a traditional insurance plan." 

We are thrilled to see this trusted organization endorse the DPC model of practice and recognize it's value.  To read the entire article please click the link below.
