DPC is a membership-based healthcare model that provides unlimited telehealth visits for minor health concerns like sinus infections, rashes, UTIs, and routine healthcare. For a flat monthly fee, you get direct access to care without co-pays, hidden fees, or the hassle of insurance.

DPC itself does not bill insurance, which keeps costs low and transparent. However, we can e-prescribe prescriptions directly to your local pharmacy, where you can use your insurance to cover medication costs. For those without insurance, we can recommend affordable medication options or discount programs.

Your membership covers all included services with no extra fees. The only additional costs are for discounted lab work, prescriptions at pharmacies, and any medications provided in-office.

At Mountain West Medical Spa, our Direct Primary Care (DPC) membership is designed to address a wide range of minor, non-emergency health concerns. Here are some examples of what we can help with:

What We Don’t Treat

It’s important to note that DPAC is for minor acute care only. Conditions that require in-person exams, advanced diagnostics, or emergency care (like chest pain, broken bones, or severe infections) are outside the scope of this service. However, if we determine your condition needs further attention, we’ll guide you to the right provider or facility for care.

DPC eliminates insurance billing, allowing for more direct, personalized care. Members enjoy unlimited visits, routine lab work, telehealth, and easy access to their provider without worrying about high deductibles or co-pays.

No, DPC is not a replacement for health insurance, but it’s a powerful way to enhance your healthcare experience while saving you money and time. Insurance is still essential for emergencies, hospital visits, specialist care, and other high-cost medical needs. However, DPC is designed to fill the gaps that insurance doesn’t cover and eliminate many of the frustrations patients face with traditional healthcare.

With DPC, there’s no need to search for in-network providers, wait weeks for an appointment with your primary care physician, or worry about co-pays for minor issues like sinus infections or UTIs. Instead, you’ll enjoy easy, immediate access to care, all for one predictable flat fee. Our goal is to provide you with convenient, affordable healthcare that complements your insurance, giving you more control over your health and reducing unnecessary out-of-pocket expenses. DPC simplifies the process, ensuring that you get the care you need when you need it—without the hassle.

Scheduling is simple! Members can book telehealth appointments through our secure online portal or by calling our office. Same-day and next-day appointments are often available for urgent needs.
