_ Why Sould I Sign up ? BENEFITS OF DIRECT PERSONAL CARE QUALITY TIME Dr. Jefferds can spend more quality time with YOU, her valued patient during your appointments. Multiple issues can be addressed during one visit. Patients have 24/7 access to their physician through appointments, phone messages or Email. SAME DAY OR NEXT DAY APPOINTMENTS This allows your issues to be addressed in real time. Illnesses, injuries, medication issues and other acute needs can be seen by your personal doctor and not in the ER or at an Insta Care facilty by someone who is not familiar with your individual medical needs. ACCESS TO DISCOUNTED LAB FEES We are offering our patients services at a lab that will offer up to 70% off for same day cash pay. Some Examples: Comprehensive Metabolic Panel $5.00 Lipid $5.00 TSH $6.60 CBC $4.20 Hgb A1C $4.40 Urine Culture $8.80 ACCESS TO PHARMACY DISCOUNTS With the breathtaking rising costs of medications we are thrilled to have access to pharmacies that share our committment to patients receiving the right medications as determined by their phycisian not an insurance company. No more trying less effective medications before your insurance company will pay for the one that is truly needed. SIGNIFICANT SAVINGS We have heard from many of our patients in regards to the steep increases in yearly deductibles and copays. Many of these fees are projected to more than double in the near future. More often than not, our fee is much less than your yearly deductible. Add no copays on top of that and you can really appreciate these out of pocket savings. HEALTH SAVING ACCOUNTS (BENEFIT CARDS) This benefit means you may be able to use these accounts for the fee, (check with your accountant or plan). GREAT OPTION FOR THE UNINSURED This is a superb and affordable option for those who find themselves with no health insurance. We advise patients to retain their health insurance as a safety net for major medical events, but on a day to day and yearly basis we can take care of our patients through this very affordable plan and greatly reduce the costs of obtaining quality care. REMOVES THIRD PARTIES FROM YOUR HEALTHCARE CHOICES Direct Personal Care takes out the administrators, cuts through layers of complexity and provides great old fashioned customer service just like in the golden years of family medicine.
