Information about Member Medical
If you have ever felt frustrated dealing with the healthcare system, then you are not alone. Between increasing insurance rates, filming claims, and finding an available and caring healthcare provider, managing your healthcare can seem like a chore that no one wants to mess with.
But what if we told you that it doesn’t have to be that way?
That’s why we created Member Medical Direct Primary Care: to restore medical practice to its roots in personalized care between you and your provider–the way healthcare should always be. With Member Medical, you will be satisfied with your care, not frustrated by paperwork, insurance, and third-party interference.
So, how are we different?
With Traditional Insurance based Practices…
- You deal with copays, insurance claims, making up uncovered costs and expenses.
- Small businesses often can’t afford to provide healthcare benefits to employees due to increasing costs and requirements.
- Physicians can accept as many patients as they want, often leaving offices crowded and understaffed, and resulting in long waiting room times, overbooked appointments, and a rushed environment once inside the office.
- People who don’t need frequent medical attention often miss out on preventative care and building a relationship with a provider due to costs.
With Member Medical Direct Primary Care…
- You have a single monthly membership rate, without the hassle of insurance, to cover your primary healthcare costs.
- Small businesses can experience significant cost savings and employees will receive unlimited visits with a primary care provider–with no copay!
