Frequently Asked Questions:
-
Your DPC membership is not health insurance. We recommend maintaining health insurance coverage for catastrophic and unexpected health events that require emergency and/or hospital services.
You can also use your insurance for services outside our clinic, such as specialist visits and imaging.
-
No. At our clinic, our core mission is to personalize your healthcare experience and reestablish a strong bond of trust between you and your healthcare provider which is built through ongoing communication and shared decision-making.
-
Yes. Both clinicians have chosen to “opt-out” of Medicare which allows us to contract with Medicare patients independently.
Medicare will continue to pay for most prescription medications and services ordered by your DPC clinician like labs and imaging. However, Medicare patients cannot request reimbursement from Medicare for services rendered at Resurgent Health.
-
Yes, only for ND and MN. Our primary clinicians will be applying to be an Ordering, Referring, Prescribing (ORP) provider only through North Dakota and Minnesota Medicaid.
-
Do you have a high deductible plan? Often times, you never reach your deductible. You pay a monthly premium to your insurance, and pay for all medical expenses out of pocket until you reach your deductible. A DPC membership is almost always much less expensive than paying separately for all of these services when run through insurance.
For example: If you see your doctor 3 times/year: office visits average $350/each, that’s $1,050 out of pocket. This equals almost 1 year of our membership.
And what benefits do you pay for with our membership? High quality care, unmatched appointment availability, access to low cost labs, low cost procedures, assistance finding low cost prescriptions, and DIRECT access to your healthcare provider 24/7!
-
Yes!!
Health Insurance does not equal Health Care. Do you have great access to care? Do you get to spend TIME with your clinician and feel your concerns were addressed? These answers are far too often, “not usually”.
Also, while great insurance coverage often means a lower deductibles and total out of pocket costs, it also means you (or your employer) are paying higher premiums every month. Often times, a switch to a lower premium health insurance plan and joining a DPC will save you money annually!
-
We have negotiated prices and have now contracted with an outside lab facility to offer “cash-pay” whole-sale labs drawn right in our office. Plus, no phlebotomy fee! Getting bloodwork completed has never been easier or more affordable.
If you prefer to use your insurance, we will still draw blood right in the office and send the samples to the lab for processing. This facility will bill insurance and you will be billed in the “normal” fashion by that facility. However, when using insurance, our contracted pricing cannot be applied.
-
If you have a high deductible plan or no insurance, we have attached cash priced options available through IDI. See our additional services page for details.
If you choose to use your insurance for imaging, we will continue to send imaging orders to any imaging center of your choice. That facility will then bill your insurance, and you will receive a bill from that facility once insurance coverage is determined.
-
Each clinician will cap their practice at around 400 patients each. These spots may fill up quickly, and we advise signing up early to guarantee your acceptance into our care.
-
You have the ability to choose your membership start date upon enrollment which is when your monthly membership fees and our healthcare relationship will begin.
You can choose to start your membership as far out as 3 months from the time you enroll and the enrollment fee is paid.
-
We are a cashless facility. The best payment option is auto-withdrawal from a bank account (ACH) due to the fees associated with credit card payments. However, we do accept most major credit cards, debit cards, and HSA cards.
-
We will accept these cards for payment with the expectation that the patient verifies appropriateness with their employer and/or insurance plan.
According to IRS code section 213(d) for Eligible Medical Expenses: Physician services is a covered expense, however, expenses related to weight loss programs are not.
-
Your enrollment fee will be automatically deducted upon confirmation of your membership. Membership fees are only deducted once your membership actually starts (on the date you choose upon enrollment)
