Is direct primary care a fit for you?

By Dr. Richard Berry, Maple Health DPC

Many people associate direct primary care with dollar signs, but that’s not the case. At Maple Health DPC, we have packages that start at only $70 a month.

Trained by a system of packed healthcare provider schedules, double charging (appointment and procedural fees), and no limit to the number of patients a practice sees, society has learned to accept long wait times and extra costs.

However, DPC is patient-centered care. You connect directly with a trusted provider who gets to know you as a whole person. It is convenient and straightforward, and it is affordable, with cost-effective options for screenings, prescriptions, lab tests and treatments for illness and injury.

Patients are surprised to learn they can have 24/7 accessibility to a doctor—video, phone, text, e-mail and in clinic during office hours—and pay less for care than with insurance. Other benefits include:

• You communicate directly with your clinician by text, e-mail or phone, and a HIPAA-approved gateway.
• Same- or next-day appointments.
• Injury and minor ailment treatment on-site prevents ER visits.
• Discount pharmacy. Pricing for prescriptions and labs often less than typical co-pays.
• Home visits are free for newborns and are available for all members.

Get one-on-one attention from a provider who is tuned in to your whole health. Maple Health Direct Primary Care clinic is a full-service, membership-based primary care practice that offers flexible access, affordable, quality healthcare 24/7 starting at $70/month.
