Southern Comfort Health DPC

"We are happily saying “No” to processing insurance for primary care services while still keeping in mind your financial health. We believe in price transparency as one solution to today’s healthcare crisis. No more co-pays or deductibles, or bills you get months later. No more being told you have to make a purchase before knowing the end cost. Excessive and intrusive regulations have led to citizen bankruptcy, less personal medical care due to the need for a high volume of visits, and physician burnout. Our clinic chooses the alternative option: a common-sense business strategy that minimizes the overhead costs, thus allowing memberships to be affordable and office visits that aren’t focused on the checkboxes. Having insurance is not the same as having access to healthcare. In our current system, primary care physicians often enroll more than 3000 patients to offset overhead costs, and physicians have become paper-pushers focused on their computer screens rather than acting as community and patient advocates. It sadly has become an expensive inconvenience to see your doctor. In our DPC clinic, membership will be capped to less than 600 patients which ensures day and time availability, including after-hours or home visits if needed, and makes communicating easier by offering text messaging, emails, and video chat; you make those arrangements with us which could help to avoid a very costly Urgent Care/ER trip. Primary care physicians are capable of handling more medical issues than we have been allowed in “traditional” practices, but given more time and direct resourcing, Primary care physicians are capable of handling more medical issues than we have been allowed in “traditional” practices. If provided more time and direct resourcing, DPC physicians can be better at diagnostics and allow for a trial-of-care with closer supervised follow-up. But if you end up in the hospital, your DPC doctor can be your personal advocate to help you and your family make needed decisions."
