Direct Primary Care is a subscription based model, where the operative word is “direct”. You will enjoy direct access to your doctor via text, email, phone, in office and/or telehealth. And care is delivered directly to you without insurance middlemen. Primary care focuses on prevention of disease. Dr. Allen’s flavor of primary care is full spectrum family medicine.

No. And here’s why that’s a good thing: by cutting out the middleman, your doctor does not have to hire an entire staff of billers and coders whose job it is to beg insurance companies to pay them for services rendered. Without that overhead, your doctor can afford to charge substantially less than the norm, and provide more thorough and accessible care in the process!

Many insurance plans will allow you to use HSA/FSA funds to pay for your membership fees, and in some cases may attribute those healthcare dollars spent to your annual deductible. However, that decision is up to your insurer and you will have to check with them to determine if this is true for your particular plan.

Yes! When urgent needs arise, or when you’re unsure how urgent something is (ie, considering an ER visit), you should absolutely run that past Dr. Allen. For non-urgent issues, feel free to contact us anytime and we will respond the same day or by the next business day.

All kinds! Dr. Allen is trained in full-spectrum family medicine and can care for your whole family from womb to tomb, cradle to grave. While she doesn’t offer prenatal or delivery care due to liability costs, you can still receive routine care while pregnant.

✓ Unlimited 60 minute visits without co-pays.

​

✓ Direct access to your doctor (via text, email, phone, in office, telehealth).

​

✓ Wellness visits and screenings, care for chronic and acute conditions, and procedures as needed.​

You’ll still need insurance for specialists, surgeries, and hospital stays. But we’re your medical home base. We’ll manage your care, coordinate referrals, and help you avoid unnecessary visits by catching things early.

Most basic labs (like for a physical) cost around $20 out-of-pocket. Imaging and specialty tests are often far more affordable than what you'd pay through insurance. And yet, when it is cost effective, we will do our best to help you submit charges to your insurer for payment or reimbursement. The bottom line is, we’ll always be transparent about costs and help you find the most affordable option.

On a case-by-case basis. If you’re already stable on medications like opioids, benzos, or ADHD meds, Dr. Allen will continue treatment if clinically appropriate. These medications are not typically started without an evaluation.
