What If We All Had Access to Primary Care Like This for an Affordable Rate?

Includes:

Your in-office visits, tele-medicine visits, in-office rapid resulted labs (strep, flu, urinalysis, urine pregnancy test, finger blood glucose), procedures we can offer in clinic, text messaging, phone consultations, lab reviews, and emails

Deeply discounted rates for recommended professional grade vitamins & supplements

*Costs of lab tests are separate and are billed directly from the lab testing facility. We can apply your insurance for this or use our very discounted self pay prices (see a list of prices here: Roots DPC Self Pay Labcorp Prices).

We Do Not Provide:

We do not provide urgent or emergency care services. Any matter that needs attention within a 24-hour period should be seen in the Emergency Room or an urgent care facility. If you are experiencing an emergency, call 911 immediately.

Direct Primary Care Membership: (Reopening Aug 26th 2024 as Roots DPC by NVH under Dr. Haque)

$100/month

One Time Enrollment Fee: $100

Initial visit:

90 minutes face to face + 60-120 minutes of pre and post visit case review and personalized plan building

Follow up visits:

30-45 minutes face to face + 60 minutes pre and post visit case review and personalized plan building

Holistic approaches with a focus on supporting the body’s healing will be preferred, while prescription medications are used not as default, but when necessary. While functional approaches will always be used, functional work-ups/testing are not included (with exception to the NMR cholesterol evaluation and more extensive hormonal testing via Labcorp). We recommend adding a functional package as needed when looking to find underlying causes and working through a condition.

The savings we provide our patients with deep discounts for professional grade vitamins & supplements as well as labs can easily amount to the cost of the DPC membership – giving you full time primary care for free. These discounts are a courtesy to our patients.

Services Included in DPC

Functional packages offered to Roots DPC members at discounted rates:

If you are interested in a deeper focus/treatments with our functional packages, we offer these packages at reduced costs to members:

$200 off of the initial functional package visit

$100 off of each follow up functional package visit

Functional packages are designed to look into underlying causes and work through a condition through a focus on gut healing, SIBO treatments, and hormonal imbalances. Our functional tests include NMR testing, Lactulose SIBO Breath Test, GI Map (comprehensive stool test), DUTCH (complete hormonal testing), and Organic Acid testing. We have seen a lot of success with patients that invest their efforts to correct underlying imbalances with their digestive health, nutrition, lifestyle, and hormones. Costs of lab tests are separate and are billed directly from the lab testing facility. Patients may apply their insurance for labs.

LABS

Any rapid tests we perform in house are included with the visit.

Any labs that we send out for results will have a separate charge from the lab (we can apply your insurance for these).

We give access to all patients to extremely discounted lab prices. These prices are well below insurance pricing. Patients may use their own insurance for labs or our pricing list.

INSURANCES

We do not accept insurance. For more information read the FAQ section on insurances here.

ARE YOU POSSIBLY PAYING MORE FOR CARE THAN CASH PAYING PATIENTS BECAUSE YOU HAVE HEALTH INSURANCE?

Actually, maybe yes, according to health costs transparency companies. And you’re paying for a 10 minute rushed visit with a provider you never met before.

“Insured people have long thought their insurance policies grant them access to the negotiated or contract rate for an in-network provider, rather than the sticker price. At an out-of-network provider, a patient might need to pay the sticker price. But increasingly, we’re hearing that insured people are being asked to pay the sticker price — if they haven’t met their deductibles yet — for in-network providers.” (Jeanne Pinder 2019)

To understand more about insurance policies’ costs, please see the following information.

Why Can We Do This Without the Concierge Price Tag?

We work for the patient, not for insurance, billing codes, or performance assessments pressuring doctors to put patients on prescription drugs. This allows us to focus our additional hours on knowing our patients well and assessing their medical conditions with much more diligence.

We get to know ALL of our patients because we cap the total number of patients much lower than the standard medical practices…keeping care personal and real.

And It's Working with Better Results.

Superior healthcare at a lower price
