What is DPC and why did we switch to cash-only?
Direct Patient-Care (DPC) is our new payment structure. Instead of filing insurance claims and dealing with timelines dictated by others, our clinic is now cash-only and this allows us to ensure you receive the best care, as quickly as possible. Some patients need more than others, and we have different options for your unique needs. **At the end of the visit, we will provide you with a super bill that you may submit to your insurance for possible reimbursement.**
DPC
-Monthly membership fee (ranges based on complexity) $50-150
-Direct ongoing care (including prescription management and prior authorizations)
-Predictable costs associated with your child's care

Non DPC
-Pay-Per-Visit (does not include additional fees) $350

-No prescription management or prior authorizations
