What are the Benefits of Direct Primary Healthcare?

Direct Primary Healthcare is a patient-first model of healthcare. This model has been around for about a decade, but DPC model clinics have only started gaining traction over the last few years. Now, Direct Primary Care clinics are quickly becoming one of the hottest trends in healthcare, and for good reasons. If you are interested in the unique differences of this model of healthcare, we invite you to learn more about the benefits of direct primary care for individuals, families and businesses looking to provide corporate health benefits at an affordable rate.

Direct primary healthcare is a subscription-based healthcare model in which patients pay a membership fee directly to their healthcare provider and receive unlimited access to primary care services. The practice does not take insurance, Medicare, Medicaid, or any other government program. 

Kerstin Gillespie, DNP, APRN, FNP-BC,  and the Aspire Family Medical team are bringing this innovative model of healthcare to patients in the Liberty Hill, TX area.  At Aspire Family Medical we care about our patients and it is our desire for each one to have a comfortable and excellent experience. This direct relationship between the patient and provider removes the unnecessary complexity and time-consumption often caused by bureaucratic involvement in personal healthcare. As a result, one of the primary and most valued benefits of choosing a DPC clinic is the personal, unhurried care offered by our providers.

With an Aspire Family Medical membership, patients will enjoy additional benefits including: 

• Simplicity - Patients appreciate the simplicity of paying the monthly membership fee and avoiding complex insurance issues such as copays and coverage qualifications. Patients know that they are building a lasting relationship with their healthcare provider. 

• Increased Access to Your Healthcare Provider - Patients enjoy an increased level of accessibility to their healthcare professional at a substantially more affordable rate

• Price Transparency - Patients know upfront the cost of what they pay in monthly or annual fees. 

• Discounts on Additional Services - Patients enjoy additional services at a discount with their membership cost, such as:

• Lab Work

• Physicals

• Affordable Diagnostic Testing

• Botox

• Weight Loss Management

• In-Office Procedures

• Yearly Preventative Health and Wellness Exams

• Wellness Classes - As part of membership at Aspire Family Medical, patients have access to a variety of wellness classes. Our goal is to ensure our patients are well-informed and educated about their wellness options. Wellness classes include: 

• Nutrition

• Self-Care

• Weight Loss

• Exercise

But don’t just take our word for it. According to the American Academy of Family Physicians, “DPC benefits patients by providing substantial savings and a greater degree of access to, and time with, physicians. (This model) allows family physicians to care for the whole person.”

If you are looking for affordable, accessible, and personalized healthcare in the Liberty Hill area, call Aspire Family Medical today and ask about membership details. Kerstin Gillespie and her team look forward to meeting you and are proud to offer compassionate, accessible healthcare for you and your family.
