Understanding what having a Direct Pay Physician means, and why this is the right model for you:

Dr. John’s Best Health is a Direct Pay practice, what this means, is that you pay your physician directly for the time spent in ensuring you get the best care possible. The ‘middle-man’ which in this case is the insurance company, is not put in the driver’s seat, rather your physician can take the necessary time to speak with you, understand the factor/factors causing your health problem, communicate with your specialists when appropriate, and formulate a treatment plan specific to your needs.

If you, or your loved one, have recently been discharged from an acute or sub-acute rehabilitation setting, it would be beneficial to have an evaluation. You could have an evaluation pending getting an appointment to see your regular Primary Care Physician, or, you could have an evaluation to help determine risk factors that may increase your chances of getting admitted into the hospital
