17. DIRECT PRIMARY CARE MODEL with Farah Myers, FNP

In this episode I have special guest Farah Myers, FNP. Together we cover the frustrations of the traditional health care model. We explore an alternative to short appointments and long wait times with utilizing direct primary care.  Comprehensive care at an affordable price. What does that mean? Farrah explains what she provides at her practice Cook Creek Family Health- Direct Primary Care (DPC) is a model of value based primary care that allows the patient (you) better access and a more personal relationship with your primary care provider.  DPC takes medicine back to its roots.  You get more relaxed visits which is more time with your provider and more time for your provider to think about your care – even when you are not in the office. By charging a monthly membership fee, we take the insurance company and big health system administrations out of the equation. That is the secret. We eliminate costly transaction processes and fees that traditional insurance practices have to endure. We also drop the “commission based” pressure that big health systems place on providers to see the most patients per day. This means less paperwork, less external interference, open scheduling, no co-pays and upfront pricing. This way we are able to spend more time to ensure you are getting the most individualized care while saving you money. You will have access to your primary care provider via unlimited office visits, text, e-mail, and video chat to make sure you get excellent care where and when you need it. DPC is NOT insurance coverage. We are your primary care provider, so we do recommend insurance coverage for major events.  We can help guide you to find an insurance plan that works for you. At Yoo Direct Health, we have transitioned out of primary care and focus primarily on functional medicine, hormone optimization, lifestyle medicine, peptide therapy, aesthetic procedures and so much more in regard to regenerative medicine. I think Farah and her practice is a great place to have our patients seek out their primary care or same days sick needs while keeping Yoo Direct Heath for your functional and aesthetic care!
