What Is DPC & Other Frequently Asked Questions
At Jensen Family Health and Wellness, Direct Primary Care (DPC) is our innovative membership‑based model offering unhurried, transparent, all‑ages care in
Lewis Center, Ohio.
Here’s how it works and why patients love it.
-
Direct Primary Care (DPC) is a new way to see your doctor where you pay a monthly fee directly to them.
The fee covers everything you need: check-ups, help with ongoing health issues, and minor treatments – no insurance needed!
DPC doctors have fewer patients, so they have more time for you during visits.
You can easily reach your DPC doctor by text, phone, email, or virtual visits.
Seeing the same DPC doctor regularly helps them understand your health better and builds trust.
DPC is all about making your healthcare personal, simple, and focused on what you need most
Some of the most notable Benefits of DPC include:
Easier access to your doctor by phone, email, or online.
More time to talk during visits, leading to better care.
Fewer trips to the emergency room because problems can be managed earlier.
-
All ages and stages of life, from newborns through grandparents!
-
Having a doctor you trust as your primary care is extremely important for your health. Dr. Jensen strongly encouraged all new patients to sign up for a free 15-minute meet and greet. Book Now below!
-
Your health insurance still helps cover big things like surgeries or hospital visits.
DPC and health insurance work together to make sure you're covered for both everyday care and larger medical needs.
It's like having two teams working together: DPC for everyday care and health insurance for more serious health issues.
If you want, you can charge your labs and medications through your health insurance. I highly recommend this if they have “good coverage.”
At each visit, before any tests or labs are ordered, we try our hardest to let you know that cash price. Often, cash prices for labs beat the price that will be charged to your deductible. In these situations, you’ll have the best educated guess at pricing so you can make an informed decision about your healthcare.
You can use your HSA card!
Please note, Dr. Jensen does not bill insurance nor provide “super bills” for insurances.
