The patient pays for their care through a monthly fee similar to a Netflix Subscription.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p class=\"p1\">Because DPC practices do not participate in any insurance or plans, the provider is able to avoid the ever-increasing and costly documentation demands and administrative intrusions that come with accepting insurance.\u00a0 DPC practices also avoid the onerous patient data collection responsibilities which many plans impose. These require staff, time, and money &#8212; often amounting to substantial intrusions on patient privacy.<\/p><p class=\"p1\">Because DPC physicians avoid these obligations to insurance companies, they are free to spend that time listening to and treating patients. And because DPC physicians eliminate the significant overhead costs of participating in insurance, they can pass the savings on to you, the patient \u2013 and give compassionate, attentive and timely care at an affordable cost.<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-accordion-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-title-1195\" class=\"elementor-tab-title\" data-tab=\"5\" role=\"button\" aria-controls=\"elementor-tab-content-1195\" aria-expanded=\"false\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-accordion-icon elementor-accordion-icon-right\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-accordion-icon-closed\"><i class=\"fas fa-caret-down\"><\/i><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-accordion-icon-opened\"><i class=\"fas fa-caret-up\"><\/i><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-accordion-title\" tabindex=\"0\">Is there a signing fee to join?<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-content-1195\" class=\"elementor-tab-content elementor-clearfix\" data-tab=\"5\" role=\"region\" aria-labelledby=\"elementor-tab-title-1195\"><p class=\"p1\">When you join, there is a $75 full comprehensive physical evaluation.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0 <\/span>That fee and the first month\u2019s membership fee are due at that time. <span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-accordion-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-title-1196\" class=\"elementor-tab-title\" data-tab=\"6\" role=\"button\" aria-controls=\"elementor-tab-content-1196\" aria-expanded=\"false\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-accordion-icon elementor-accordion-icon-right\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-accordion-icon-closed\"><i class=\"fas fa-caret-down\"><\/i><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-accordion-icon-opened\"><i class=\"fas fa-caret-up\"><\/i><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-accordion-title\" tabindex=\"0\">Who can benefit from an Ardane Medical DPC membership?<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-content-1196\" class=\"elementor-tab-content elementor-clearfix\" data-tab=\"6\" role=\"region\" aria-labelledby=\"elementor-tab-title-1196\"><ul class=\"ul1\"><li class=\"li1\">Anyone over 18 years old.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/li><\/ul><ul class=\"ul1\"><li class=\"li1\">Patients that are looking for a closer relationship with their provider. <span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/li><\/ul><ul class=\"ul1\"><li class=\"li1\">Small business owners that can\u2019t afford to offer their employees full health care benefits can now offer primary care coverage at a low cost.
