Where patients are neighbors and care comes first ♡
Welcome to Alamosa’s Direct Primary Care
Direct Primary Care is a simple, patient-centered model of healthcare. Instead of paying co-pays and having surprise bills every time you visit the office, you pay a flat monthly fee that covers your primary care needs. Unlimited visits, longer appointment times, affordable labs, affordable imaging, and affordable procedures. “Direct” means direct access between patients and the healthcare provider, whether that is through office visits, phone calls, texts, emails, or even house calls. We meet patients where they are in their health care journey. This means you get longer appointments, wholesale medication prices, easier same day and next day appointments when you need them (not weeks later). Because there is no insurance involved, your provider can spend more time with you and save you money, while building a real and ongoing relationship.
As the patient of a Direct Care medical practice, you’ll enjoy things like easy accessibility to your health care provider, house calls, wholesale prescriptions costs, extended visits, same-day scheduling and more. When you sign up with a Direct Care clinic, you’re also eliminating the insurance middleman – and saving money. A monthly membership fee allows you to only pay for the services you need when you need them. You don’t have to get rid of your health insurance altogether, but by finding a plan that compliments your Direct Care membership, you can save more than the cost of your membership.
It’s like having your health care provider in the family – one you can call when you need. Correspond with them in ways that are easy for YOU- like text, email, or the traditional phone call if you prefer. Spend as much time with your provider as you’d like – and ask all the questions that come to mind. Your Direct Care provider’s primary concern is you! And that’s the way it should be.
