Fertilized eggs can implant outside the uterus, usually in the fallopian tube, leading to ectopic pregnancy. In order to avoid harm to the pregnant woman and preserve her fertility, ectopic pregnancy must be diagnosed and treated promptly. Ectopic pregnancy can cause severe pain, bleeding, and possibly life-threatening complications.
As opposed to traditional health care, direct primary care (DPC) allows primary care physicians to provide services directly to their patients, without involving insurance companies. Among the services patients can access are consultations, exams, lab tests, and care coordination, which they pay a monthly or annual fee for. Typically, DPC practices have fewer patients and more time for each visit, allowing for more personalized and comprehensive care.
People with ectopic pregnancies or who have experienced them can benefit from DPC in several ways, including:
Reduced out-of-pocket costs since you don't have to pay copays, deductibles, or coinsurance. You don't have to worry about prior authorizations or insurance company denials.
The availability of telehealth services, such as telephone calls, emails, and video chats with your physician, can help you stay in touch and receive timely advice and guidance.
Enhanced coordination of care with your specialists, including obstetricians, gynecologists, surgeons, and reproductive endocrinologists.
People with ectopic pregnancies can benefit from DPC in the following ways:
You can have a closer relationship with your primary care physician, who can get to know you better and understand your needs and preferences.
In addition to having more input and control over your treatment options, you can also select the DPC practice that best suits your needs and values.
Your DPC physician can provide you with more convenience, flexibility, transparency, and respect.
You can have personalized ectopic pregnancy management from DPC that can improve your health outcomes and quality of life. Examples include:
We provide individualized treatment plans based on your medical history, current medications, allergies, and goals.
The use of new therapies and technologies that may not be covered by insurance or available in traditional practices.
Keep track of your pregnancy status and treatment response with regular ultrasound scans and blood tests.
Providing medication or surgery based on your specific condition and severity of ectopic pregnancy.
Anemia and infection can be prevented with dietary modifications and supplements.
Helping you cope with the emotional and physical effects of an ectopic pregnancy by referring you to education programs and support groups.
As Albert Einstein once said: “The only source of knowledge is experience.”
It is important to find a health care model that helps people who are prone to ectopic pregnancy or have suffered from it. DPC can be an option for people who want more customized, comprehensive, and affordable primary care.
