Donohoo Primary Care LLC is a hybrid traditional Fee-For-Service and Direct Primary Care practice.

​

​

​

Medicaid Patients

Patients do not pay a membership fee and insurance will be billed. Patients should expect to receive traditional primary care. 

​

Medicare Patients

Patients with Medicare insurance will have two options:

1. Patients can pay no membership fee and insurance will be billed as in a typical fee-for-service         practice. Patients should expect to receive traditional primary care. 

2. Patients can pay a membership fee and insurance will be billed. Patients that pay a membership fee will receive non-covered Medicare services such as home visit eligibility, improved access to the physician and same-day or next-day appointments.

​

Private Insurance Patients

Patients pay a membership fee and no private insurance will be billed. The membership fee can be paid monthly or yearly. Your membership fee covers wellness visits, acute care, regular checkups, chronic care management, care coordination, improved access to your physician (cell phone, email), same day or next day appointments, home visit eligibility and discounted labs and procedures.

​

Donohoo Primary Care LLC is NOT insurance. Patients who have insurance would continue to carry this for medical issues outside the office, which would include emergency room visits, hospitalizations, outpatient surgeries or imaging studies.

Direct Primary Care (DPC) is a growing trend across the country. A pure DPC practice allows patients to pay a membership fee which covers the cost of outpatient visits and allows the patient better access to the physician - by cell phone, texting or email. Home visits are also included when feasible. The physician does not bill insurance with this model.

​

While this may seem to be an excessive cost for a patient to pay out-of-pocket, with high deductible plans, it can actually save the patient money since labs and procedures done in office can be performed much cheaper than what is billed to insurance companies. Physicians are attracted to this type of practice because of the decreased burden of insurance company regulations and less overhead in the office that comes with billing third-party payers. Patients are much more satisfied seeing the physician is able to spend more time with them and have better access to them.
