What role does insurance play in a DPC practice? Will Gold Direct Care accept insurance?
Insurance has no role in a DPC practice, therefore Gold Direct Care does not accept or bill to insurance. Gold Direct Care will charge a flat monthly or annual fee that will cover all comprehensive primary care services. The patient should still retain an insurance policy in the event of catastrophic illness or hospitalization. At Gold Direct Care we recommend a high deductible insurance plan with a lower monthly premium as we have discounted labs done on site, reduced imaging fees at outside sites, and reduced generic medication prices at a local pharmacy. We can also direct you to a benefits counselor who can assist you in customizing an insurance plan that works in conjunction with DPC.
