How does Direct Care Work
Direct care is membership based healthcare. Instead of accepting insurance, our members pay a reasonable monthly fee for unlimited doctor's visits. While direct care practices do not accept insurance our members may utilize their insurance for other costs including medications, labs, and imaging.
As a member of a direct care practice our patients find that they can actually pay less out of pocket and receive better, more comprehensive care.
How is Direct Care Different
Direct care providers have realized that the healthcare system is broken. We have taken everything wrong with the current doctors office visit and made it what every patient deserves:
-
Longer visit times: 30-60 mins
-
On time appointments
-
Direct access to your doctor via text, email, and phone
-
Transparent pricing with no insurance hassles, no copays, and no deductibles
-
Discounted medications, labs, and radiology studies
-
Limited number of members per practice so you don't have to wait weeks to be seen

I opened Indiana Direct Primary Care in my hometown of Fort Wayne because I am passionate about healthcare. Throughout my years in practice I have seen the sharp decline in the healthcare system. Healthcare has become "big business" at the expense of patients. No doctor dreams of seeing 30+ patients a day, spending 5-10 minutes with each of them and then hours upon hours with paperwork to satisfy the insurance companies. And no patient (myself included) wants to spend hours at the doctor's office only to be disappointed. Patients spend more and more money out of pocket to get less and less care.
​
As a direct care practice we have the ability to refocus on you, the patient.
