Insurance
Under this model, WE DO NOT BILL INSURANCE, which means we can work directly for you, not the insurance company or corporations. That means there is no need for co-pays or deductibles for your primary care and you won't get any surprise bills from our office. You pay, instead, an affordable, flat monthly fee directly to us for the care and services provided, even if you have multiple medical issues. You may use your insurance to pay for visits to specialists, the ER, hospital stays, X-rays, and extended labs not covered under membership.
All patients are responsible for inquiring with their insurance or cost sharing organizations on the possibility of coverage & managing their billing process. BIM will not bill any organization for care provided. Health Spending Accounts (HSA) and Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA) may cover certain medical expenses provided so we encourage you to check with your HSA/FSA organization on coverage possibilities.
Please note that the DPC membership program is not a comprehensive health insurance and only supplies specific primary care services.
