Dr. Lindsey Neal and Dr. Rebecca Downey, co-founders of Charlottesville Direct Primary Care, joined me live on The I Love CVille Show to spotlight their journey as entrepreneurs and primary care physicians in Charlottesville and Central Virginia.
Direct primary care is an insurance-free, membership-based model of care that allows more personalized, accessible, affordable care. Patients pay a monthly fee (think Netflix) for medical care.
$50 per month: 21 years old and under
$80 per month: 22-64 years old
$100 per month: 65-99 years old
$1 per month: 100+ years old
$225 per month: Family plan (max of 4 kids and 2 parents)
Charlottesville Direct Primary Care’s low monthly fees are made possible by a lean business model. No insurance billing (no billing or coding departments necessary) decreases overhead tremendously. In addition, their patient panels are smaller than in a traditional practice, which allows them the time they need to get to know their patients and to provide prompt care in whatever way necessary (same or next-day clinic visit, email, text, house call, phone call or video chat).
If you have insurance, they will help you utilize it in the most cost effective way for you. It’s back to good old-fashioned relationship-based care where your doctor knows you and is available whenever needed. Dr. Neal and Dr. Downey LOVE what they do and feel that a DIRECT relationship with their patients is the only way to provide meaningful care.
