Direct Primary Care
Patient-Centric Direct Primary Care Service in York, Maine
We're thrilled to announce our new Direct Primary Care service, designed to give you a more involved and personalized health experience. Under Dr. Kathryn Brokus our care extends beyond the conventional, embracing a holistic and osteopathic approach that's all about you — not just a prescription pad. Only 200 patients are seen to ensure the utmost attention for your health journey.
What is Direct Primary Care?
Direct Primary Care (DPC) is a healthcare model where you pay a monthly membership fee directly to your doctor, instead of relying on insurance companies. This eliminates billing hassles and allows your doctor to spend more time with you, providing personalized and proactive care. You will have better access to your doctor with same day visits to avoid unnecessary urgent care and ER visits. You will get discounts on all of our other services including yoga, osteopathic manipulation, and medical aesthetics. This model compliments your private insurance plan, but also works great for those without traditional insurance. Because of federal regulations we cannot bill Medicare for any cash-based service or accept FSA/HSA cards. You can use your HSA funds for medications, imaging tests, labs from an outside facility.
Here's what DPC at Examined Life means for you:
No more feeling like a number. You'll get greater access to Dr. Brokus, with more timely and higher-quality care. Examined Life is here for you on your journey to wellness.
Personalized care that goes beyond the bandaid. We'll dig deep to understand your unique needs and create a holistic health plan that works for you.
Avoid unnecessary ER visits and hospital stays. We'll focus on prevention and provide you with proactive care to keep you feeling your best.
Discounted labs, meds, and services. We'll negotiate to get you the best deals, and you'll get exclusive member discounts on services like yoga and weight management.
But how can we offer all of this? Because Dr. Brokus is only accepting 200 patients, instead of the 3,000 she had in Kittery!
