  • Yes, you can! Our members enjoy direct access to their provider, including after hours. Your peace of mind matters to us, so we’re here whenever you need us, even outside regular business hours.

  • You should keep Medicare. You can have Medicare and a DPC provider. We will not be billing Medicare for any services, and you may not submit the fee to Medicare for reimbursement.  We will still be able to order medications, labs, and imaging, as well as send you to a specialist. All of those services will still go through Medicare, as those providers will still be contracted Medicare providers.

  • Peak Health Direct Care is still is able to order lab work, testing, and imaging and send referrals for patients with Medicare and most commercial insurances. We will also work diligently at completing prior authorizations when one is required. It is best to check with your specific insurance plan to determine how seeing an out-of-network doctor will affect these things. None of the care provided by Peak Health Direct Care will be billed to your insurance or paid for by insurance.

  • Yes, of course you can. If for example you live 6 months in Florida and 6 months up north. We would be happy to pause your membership while living up North and resume care once back in Florida.

  • Yes

  • No. They are similar in that both models strive to make the patient experience better by making the care more personal and allowing for more time during the office visit. The difference is in cost and billing structure. Concierge practices bill the insurance companies AND charge the patients a yearly fee. The typical DPC office charges the patient monthly and does not bill insurance.

  • The hospitalist doctors will be the ones taking care of you in the hospital. If needed, we will be happy to be a source of information to the hospital doctors and help coordinate your care in the hospital.

  • We’ll do our best to take care of you—even when you’re traveling—thanks to the flexibility we have without third-party payment restrictions. Because we already know your medical history, we can make your care more efficient when you’re not at home. Many common conditions can be evaluated and treated through a quick phone call, email, or text. If needed, we’ll also find a nearby pharmacy and arrange for the most suitable medications for your situation.

  • We welcome patients starting at the age of 18 and up.

  • Absolutely! We offer both in-person and telehealth visits, because we know life gets busy. Whether you prefer coming in or connecting from home, we’re here to make your care convenient and comfortable.
