Does American Health DPC take insurance?
Short answer, no. In recent years, we have become increasingly concerned about the way insurance paperwork and other bureaucratic hassles have taken time and energy we could have devoted to caring for patients. I’m sure it has been frustrating for you to feel rushed during an office visit or to wait for a response when you have called the office for a medication refill or because of another concern. Bypassing insurance will allow us to spend more time serving you and less time dealing with insurance paperwork, prior authorizations and all the delay in care associated with insurance. We will also be more available to you by phone, email, and online. Additionally, DPC saves patients from arbitrary personal health decisions made by insurance companies and avoids expensive contractual agreements which saves our patients quite a bit of money on labs and visits.
