More time with you: Unlike traditional insurance-based primary care practices, which require physicians to see 20 patients a day and spend valuable time on insurance billing, we offer a more focused and efficient approach. Our appointments are longer, start on time, and dedicate all attention to you, ensuring that your healthcare needs are thoroughly addressed. This direct care model eliminates the need for a large staff to handle complicated insurance billing, thereby reducing our operational costs. Better Access: We understand that many people struggle with accessing quality healthcare due to high deductibles or lack of insurance. That's why we offer a unique model that provides improved access and affordability. For a fixed monthly fee, our patients can enjoy unlimited office visits without worrying about co-pays or administrative fees. This means you can see your primary care provider as often as needed without the stress of additional costs. Our direct care model ensures that you receive consistent, high-quality healthcare on your terms, making it easier than ever to prioritize your well-being. Join us and experience the difference of direct care!

For those with regular health insurance, you can still use it for labs, imaging, medications, and specialist services. However, with our competitive member prices, many patients find they spend less on these services even without using their insurance. We recommend using insurance primarily for significant, catastrophic events like hospitalizations. Direct primary care goes well with insurance by offering cost-effective pricing for routine care while ensuring you are covered for major medical events. This approach allows you to maximize your healthcare savings while ensuring comprehensive care.

No problem! Insurance is not necessary to access our services. With our practice, you'll pay a monthly membership fee along with any costs for testing and treatment as needed. We are committed to helping you make the most cost-effective choices for your medical care.

We currently are not excepting patients who are enrolled in Medicare.

Becoming a member of Direct Wellness RVA does not include coverage for major health events such as emergency care and hospital stays. It also excludes surgery, specialist consultations, costs for external tests, and treatments. However, Direct Wellness RVA members benefit from negotiated rates on lab work, imaging, and common medications. We encourage having health insurance to help manage unexpected expenses.

If you decide to end your membership, please notify us to initiate the process. We require a 30-day notice so we can help you transition to your next primary care provider. This notice period allows us to ensure that your medical records are up to date and that you have a smooth transfer of care. Your health is our priority, and we aim to make this transition as seamless as possible. For more detailed information or assistance, feel free to contact us.

At Direct Wellness RVA, we prioritize your convenience and health. Most of your care can be provided via telemedicine through phone, video calls, email, or texting. This allows you to receive professional medical consultations and follow-up care from the comfort of your home. However, for some conditions and for your annual wellness physical, a physical exam will be necessary. Our dedicated team will work with you to determine when an in-person visit is required, ensuring you receive comprehensive and effective care tailored to your needs.
