Everyone hates going to see the doctor—have you ever wondered why?

Most people associate doctors with rushed appointments and a long wait time. That’s after waiting weeks to get an appointment in the first place.

What if we flipped the script?

With direct primary care, patients have access to caring, professional doctors when most convenient. No more waiting room visits or frustrating phone calls in an attempt to see your doctor.

Why Choose Direct Primary Care?

Have you ever tried to get in to see your doctor, only to be scheduled weeks later instead of being cared for right when you need it? When you finally get to see your doctor, you likely spend the majority of the visit in the waiting room. Your actual appointment feels rushed, and you leave with more questions than answers.

This scenario is likely relatable for most of us. Unfortunately, the traditional primary care model is struggling to meet each patients’ unique needs in a personal and professional manner. There are so many patients to see and not enough time to provide each one with needed care.

A visit to a primary care office becomes an annoying inconvenience, but it might not seem like a big deal. However, when patients don’t receive unique care or have to wait weeks to see their doctor, they’re less likely to address “little” aches and pains that could lead to major health issues. Also, this healthcare model is insufficient for chronic illness patients who need frequent appointments.

Is there a better way to do healthcare? The answer is an emphatic yes!

How Does Direct Primary Care Work?

The direct primary care model is much like a normal subscription: in exchange for a flat fee, a patient receives unlimited, 24/7 access to their doctor and accompanying services. With direct primary care, healthcare is focused on you and your needs.

Here are some benefits direct primary care provides:

24/7 access to your doctor. Whether in-person or online, you’ll have constant access to your doctor—including weekends, nights, and holidays.

Up-front fees. With direct primary care, gone are the days of hidden fees or co-pays. You pay a monthly flat fee with no surprises.

Discounted products. At Apex MD, we provide our patients with up to 90% discounted rates on lab tests, imaging tests, and prescriptions.

Secure telemedicine. If you’re nearby Apex MD but not close enough for a regular commute, you can meet with one of our doctors virtually to ask questions and check-in. That way you’re saving gas money for major appointments or check-ups.

Direct primary care makes healthcare the way it was always meant to be.

Is Direct Primary Care Right for Me?

Anyone can benefit from the convenient and affordable direct primary care model. Direct primary care would make a great fit if:

You want convenient, affordable, and quality healthcare. With direct primary care, you get access to the highest quality medicine at a convenient time and for an affordable price.

You want a strong doctor-patient relationship. Direct primary care doctors intentionally limit the amount of patients they care for, giving them quality time to spend with each patient.

You have young or independent children. Direct primary care services ensure your child receives the highest quality care—whether they’re still at home or away at college.

You require frequent doctor visits. If you have a health condition such as a chronic illness, primary care isn’t feasible to provide the support you need. With direct primary care, you receive as many appointments as necessary, and you can contact your doctor any time with questions or concerns.

How Much Does Direct Primary Care Cost?

At Apex MD, we provide three categories of direct primary care in Houston:

• Pediatric care
• Adult care
• College care
• Concierge medicine

With traditional primary care, these copays quickly add up despite insurance help. We provide our high-quality services in exchange for affordable monthly pricing, with no unexpected out-of-pocket charges. Also, we don’t require insurance, making our direct primary care services more accessible to a variety of patients.
