Pre-existing condition? NO. SUCH. THING... at a Direct Primary Care Dr's office. You subscribe like a gym membership and get the same services as everyone else. Visit the office when you need it. Binge on health care! In #DPC the doctor wants to get you well & keep you there

This includes financial harm. Health care must stop being a financial crisis. The DPC doctor’s office extends our oath of “do no harm“ to our patient’s finances. Abundant care - Subscribe like a gym membership for white collar care at blue collar costs #somedocs #MedTwitter

The DPC doctor’s office extends our oath of “do no harm“ to our patient’s finances. We opt out of the system for us and for them. A win-win! #SoMeDocs #Doctor
It is time for physicians to incorporate defending the profession & protecting the financial health of our patients into our 21stcentury medical ethic. It makes no sense for patients to pay a $1000mo premium w/ a 10,000 deductible, so the ins co can deny my $80-95 office visit.
