Traditional Care Vs. Direct Care
In the "old days" it used to be a fairly simple issue to go to a local doctor's office. Most people knew their doctors personally and saw them around town. When one of your kids got the flu, you wouldn't think twice about going to the doctor and making sure everything was okay. If you cut your hand in the kitchen, your own doctor could stitch up the laceration for you. You paid a fair price for exactly what services you received. If the doctor recommended continued care at home with over-the-counter medications, you didn't get a huge emergency room bill and the doctor didn't need to charge one!
Even on the surface, you can see some of the reasons for the cost of health care now. Doctors often work for a business owner that is not a doctor. The business owner has to pay office managers, receptionists, nurses, technicians, nurse practitioners, janitorial, building costs, an enormous insurance policy to cover the staff, and more. That doesn't even count the cost of paying physicians! Direct Care offers a way out of this trap!
Behind the scenes, there is even more to it. You may have seen documentaries that talk about the many people involved in the healthcare industry today. Many decisions are made by politicians, big business owners, big pharmaceutical companies, and of course - the insurance companies. Most of the people making those decisions don't have medical training and don't have to worry about the cost of their own medical care, so they don't see the side of the typical patient or the typical small-town physician.

Direct Care offers a way out of this trap!
With Direct Care, the doctor provides services directly to the patient. It's a return to an old-fashioned way of life at a time when health care costs are out of hand. A Direct Care Practice, like Isabel Molina Family Medicine, offers patients the opportunity to come in and skip past the big business owner, insurance company and do business directly with a physician. Patients have a choice between paying for just the services rendered that day or getting an even better value by purchasing a monthly membership for unlimited medical care. Interested?
