Yes but importantly very cheap.

One practice was $30/mo and even provided Xray and most labs for free (as in included in that price) because he bought his own machine.

One takes the drug samples most hospitals throw away (because they can’t put them in their inventory to make profit) and sells them cheap or free if needed.

Almost all do text, email, call 24/7, next day appointment, house call, etc so forth.

Most have their hypertensive, diabetics, and so on so well controlled that their insurance risk profile goes down, thus their payments go down and end up having much better health as well as more money in their pockets.

Turns out local, community based medicine (not large hospitals) is best to build relationships with patients and drive prices down.

Thanks! How do I find something like this in my area?

I’m assuming you can let the monthly cost with HSA?

You can just google DPC in my area, and that should be a decent start.

This is a registry of some 80+ practices: https://www.dpcare.org/dpc-practice-locations

Im sure if you contact them they can help you find more practices as well.

Afaik HSA should work, but you’d have to ask the particular practice.
