DPC CASE STUDY - NEW PATIENT - A REVELATION

From a PA DPC Practice - “Avoiding the ER or Urgent Care TO Save thousands of your $$$”

It was a same day visit for this very ill 58 year old new patient...

She required medication and a chest x-ray (CXR).

We prorated her 1st month's membership, as we always do for our new patients who sign up after the 1st of the month, and saw her THAT DAY IN THE OFFICE.

Urgent Care with a CXR, meds would have cost HUNDREDS $$!

ER with CXR, meds would have cost THOUSANDS $$$!

Her cost at DPC=$48.51 (CXR) + $16.62 (meds) + $69.64 (prorated 1st month's membership) = $134.77 !!
