Although direct care may be unfamiliar to you, take a look at how many providers in your area have adopted this simplified approach to healthcare! In the Kansas City metro, numerous healthcare professionals practice using a direct care model, providing patients with an affordable and more accessible way to receive high-quality care. By eliminating insurance, direct care providers are able to offer more personalized care, convenient appointments, and transparent pricing.
What is Direct Care?
Direct Care is a simplified healthcare payment model that removes insurance companies from the doctor-patient relationship. Instead of billing through insurance, patients pay their healthcare provider directly through affordable monthly membership fees or pay-per-visit arrangements. This streamlined approach offers numerous benefits for both patients and healthcare providers.
