Direct Care means a direct relationship between the doctor and patient, instead of going through a third-party payor (insurance) to get care.
There is a growing need to address the systemic failure of insurance-based medicine and Direct Care is filling the gap for those who are seeking for more in their medical care.
In Direct Care, patients pay the doctor directly, and the doctor provides the services to the patient without having to wait for insurance to authorize the doctor's recommendations. This mean no delay in treatment and patients can get better faster.
Patients who do not have insurance, have restricted insurance or have a high deductible all benefit from Direct Care doctors who have removed barriers to getting the medical care they need.
