DPC CASE STUDY - Meds or Meals?

35 year old patient with history of high blood pressure, high cholesterol, hypothyroidism, depression, on total of 6 medications, looses job & has no more health insurance.

What happens next? The patient is forced to stop all medications because they cannot afford office visits/medications.

Direct Primary Care #DPC to the rescue!

- All 6 medications costs = $2.50/day ($75/month) 

- Patient needs WEEKLY visits in a month to get her medications re-started and increased.

- Needs an EKG which is FREE in our DPC doctor’s office!
