Direct Care Model

Why This Works

Providing direct care to you cuts costs, provides transparency, and simplifies medical care for the patient and physician.

Easy Access to Care

We understand that this may not be the preferred option for everyone. However, we believe that, direct care offers easy access to affordable services for all individuals. It allows us to practice honest medicine where we wont provide care based on complex insurance policies and coverage. There is an added benefit for those with high deductible insurance policies and those who have no insurance coverage.

Decreasing Costs

Direct care models decrease costs by cutting out the overhead that comes with dealing with third parties (insurance companies, government agencies, employers and other regulations) that often dictate when, how and the type of care you receive. The cost of your complete office visit is generally no more than most people’s cell phone bill or a special meal with your family. You will know exactly what the costs are before services are rendered.

Get the Best Care

This modern, progressive practice model will restore the traditional doctor-patient relationship. It will allow Dr. Clemetson to spend more quality time face-to-face with you, customize the best treatment plan for you and decrease your wait time to be seen by a dermatologist.

Direct Care Self-Pay refers to the healthcare model where patients pay healthcare providers directly for services rendered, without involving insurance companies. This is relevant for those with and without insurance.

For Patients Without Insurance:

  1. Cost Transparency: Patients know the exact cost of services upfront, which helps them plan and manage their healthcare expenses.
  2. Access to Care: They can access healthcare services without needing to navigate insurance requirements or network restrictions.
  3. Quality and Time: Direct care often means more time with the healthcare provider, leading to more personalized and thorough care.

For Patients With Insurance:

  1. Out-of-Network Benefits: Patients may choose to use direct care for services not covered by their insurance or when they prefer providers outside their insurance network.
  2. Supplementary Care: It allows for accessing additional or alternative treatments that insurance might not cover.
  3. Potential Reimbursement: Some insurance plans offer partial reimbursement for out-of-network or direct care services, though this varies.
  4. We at 360 Dermatology offer a easy way to file claims using Reimbursify via either the website or by downloading app on your mobile device. Click here for Google Play or Apple Store. Please do not hesitate to ask for assistance with the process as we are aware in can be intimidating.

Overall, direct care self-pay emphasizes a straightforward, transparent relationship between patient and provider, focusing on personalized care and often leading to a more satisfying healthcare experience.
