Direct Primary Care at Sagewood
What is Direct Primary Care (DPC)?
Direct Primary Care is a modern, patient-centered approach to healthcare that eliminates the middleman. Instead of dealing with unpredictable insurance billing, you pay a simple monthly membership fee for unlimited, direct access to your doctor. This means more time with your physician, transparent pricing, and no surprise bills.

Direct Primary Care: Frequently Asked Questions
“We hear it all the time: ‘Why should I pay for DPC if I already have insurance?’ Here’s the answer.”
FAQs
Think of insurance and care as two different things.
Insurance is for big, unexpected expenses (hospitalizations, surgeries, specialists).
Direct Primary Care (DPC) is for your everyday healthcare needs — unlimited visits, quick access, and a doctor who knows you.
You wouldn’t use your car insurance to pay for gas or an oil change — you use it for accidents. Health works the same way.
Yes, current IRS guidance allows DPC membership to be a qualified medical expense beginning in 2026.
Some patients do use tax-advantaged accounts for DPC. Because rules can change, please consult your tax advisor; we’ll provide detailed receipts upon request.
Yes, we recommend keeping insurance.
Insurance is still important for:
Hospitalizations
Surgeries
Specialist care
Expensive prescriptions
Advanced imaging (CT, MRI, etc.)
In short: Insurance = catastrophe coverage. DPC = day-to-day care.

While Sagewood Direct covers most of your everyday primary care needs, some services fall outside your membership. These may include:
Specialist Care & Hospital Services
Emergency room visits, hospital stays, and specialist consultations (cardiology, orthopedics, dermatology, etc.)
Procedures & Imaging
X-rays, MRIs, ultrasounds, and surgical procedures outside our clinic
Additional Lab Work
Membership includes standard labs (like cholesterol, blood sugar, thyroid) at wholesale prices
Specialty labs (hormone panels, advanced cardiac markers, genetic testing, food sensitivity, etc.) may incur additional charges at discounted rates
Medications
While we can often provide wholesale pricing for common prescriptions, medications are not fully included in your membership
Aesthetic & Regenerative Services
PRP joint injections for musculoskeletal conditions
PRP aesthetics (Vampire Facials, hair restoration)
Botox, fillers, and other Med Spa services
No. One of the greatest benefits of Sagewood Direct is price transparency. Your monthly membership covers all office visits, same-day/next-day appointments, and direct access to your physician. If a service is not included in your membership — such as advanced lab work, imaging, or aesthetic treatments — you will always be told the cost upfront. There are no hidden fees or surprise bills.
Not really. Most people already pay hundreds every month for insurance and still pay out-of-pocket when they need care (copays, high deductibles, urgent care bills).
DPC membership replaces those unpredictable costs with:
$80/month for unlimited primary care visits
Same-day or next-day appointments
Basic annual labs included
Direct text/telehealth access to your doctor
One avoided ER or urgent care visit can cover a whole year of membership.
Insurance = financial safety net
DPC = everyday, personal, unlimited care
Together, they give you the best of both worlds: peace of mind for emergencies, and a doctor you can actually reach when you need them.
