Why Homeowners should consider Direct Primary Care...
Show Notes

Today Matt, Chandler and Jon sit down with Adam Courchaine, PA-C, MPAS, the owner of NuMed Direct Primary Care.  Have you ever had to wait days, weeks or even months to get to see your Health Care provider? Do you hate the costly office visits or worse yet... having to go to Urgent Care or the ER for after hours visits? You may want to look into Direct Primary Care.

Under this model, patients may pay a combination of visit fees and/or fixed monthly fees which grant them access to a set of medical services, including same and next-day appointments, which may take the form of office visits and/or house calls.[2]

Typically a direct primary care arrangement is paired with either:

  • A high-deductible health plan, as DPC alone will not cover catastrophic health care such as most surgeries
  • A health savings account, or health reimbursement account as the associated tax-benefits can generally be applied to DPC and other medical expenses.

This is not an endorsement of DPC, we are just interested in giving facts and options to our listeners :)
