Scabies is a skin condition caused by tiny mites that burrow under the skin and cause intense itching, rash, and sometimes infection. It can be very frustrating to deal with scabies, especially if you have to wait a long time to see a doctor or pay high fees for treatment. Direct primary care (DPC) is a better way to manage scabies.
An insurance company or third party is not involved in direct primary care because you have direct access to your primary care provider. You pay a monthly or annual fee, and in return, you get unlimited visits, phone calls, emails, and telehealth consultations with your doctor. You also get discounted lab tests, medications, and referrals to specialists.
DPC can help you manage your scabies in several ways:
If you notice any symptoms of scabies, you should visit your doctor as soon as possible. Early diagnosis and treatment can prevent the spread of scabies and reduce complications.
You can get personalized treatment for your scabies, based on your medical history, allergies, and preferences. Your doctor can prescribe the best medication for you, monitor your progress and side effects, and provide advice on how to prevent reinfestation and protect yourself and your family.
There are no copays, deductibles, or coinsurance required for scabies treatment. You also don't have to worry about surprise bills or hidden fees. All your primary care needs are covered by your DPC membership fee, and you can also get discounts on other products and services you may need for your scabies.
DPC offers many benefits for scabies patients, such as:
With more time and attention, your doctor will be able to answer all of your scabies-related questions and concerns. As part of a holistic and preventative approach to your health, your doctor can help you improve your immune system, your diet, and your lifestyle.
The doctor can communicate with you through various channels and provide flexible scheduling to make your experience more convenient and comfortable. The doctor can also treat you as a partner in your health care if you have a more trusting and respectful relationship with him.
By receiving timely and appropriate treatment, you can recover from scabies faster and more effectively. Additionally, you are less likely to develop chronic conditions such as bacterial infections, eczema, or asthma as a result of scabies.
Find out if anyone in your area knows any DPC doctors by asking your friends, family, or coworkers. After finding a DPC practice that suits your needs and preferences, you can contact them and join. You will then be able to enjoy the benefits of DPC for your scabies and your overall health.
As Benjamin Franklin said,
“An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.”
