Direct primary care is an innovative model that cuts the middleman (insurance companies) out of your primary care. For a flat monthly fee, you receive direct access to your health care provider. No copays. No hidden fees. No bureaucratic red tape. Just you and your nurse practitioner.
TBH Medical is a membership-based clinic. This means that we cap the number of patients we see to ensure that you receive the high-quality, unhurried care that you deserve. Because we do not participate with any insurance plans, we are able to allocate our time to addressing your health concerns, not your billing and coding.
As a DPC patient, you will enjoy:
Your health care provider will know your history inside and out and will have the time to devote to preventing illness, rather than just managing it once it arises.
No. While direct primary care and concierge medicine are very similar (both offer increased access to your provider and individualized attention), direct primary care is typically less expensive and does not bill your insurance company for routine office visits.
Absolutely, an NP can deliver complete direct primary care within the scope of their license and training. At TBH Medical, the NP can evaluate, diagnose, treat, and manage most primary care issues. In Colorado, NPs have extensive clinical training and are licensed to practice autonomously, enabling them to provide the primary care expected in a direct primary care setting. When your condition requires input from a physician or specialist, your NP can collaborate with and refer you as needed.
