What to Expect from Our Direct Primary Care Services

We spend an hour or more with each of our patients during their regular wellness visits, and we focus on the prevention of disease and illness. We also offer the latest technology, like our Red Light Therapy, to treat chronic illnesses and pain as well as promote wellness. 


How is direct primary care different from normal primary care? In short, direct primary care practices keep their caseloads low in order to provide one-on-one care to clients. It’s also structured on a membership model, which allows people like you to access quality health services in Pagosa Springs for a fair, predictable price.

 

Our aim is to keep our space clean and comfortable, just like home, to help our patients feel relaxed and calm during their visits. Our staff are warm and friendly and are attentive to the needs of any patient that walks through our door. Since we don’t take insurance, you won’t have to deal with the headache of claims, denials, or surprise bills.

Primary Care Services

Alpine Medical covers all of the tradition services you’ve come to expect from a primary care provider.

  • Acute & Routine Care Visits: Direct primary care provides timely and convenient access to primary care physicians for acute care needs. Whether it’s a sudden illness, injury, or any other non-life-threatening condition, patients can schedule same-day or next-day appointments to address their concerns. This reduces the reliance on emergency departments and urgent care centers for non-emergency situations. Routine care visits, on the other hand, focus on managing chronic conditions, conducting follow-ups, providing vaccinations, and addressing general health concerns.

  • Adult & Child Wellness Visits: Wellness visits are an essential part of preventive care. Direct primary care physicians conduct comprehensive check-ups for adults and children to monitor their overall health and detect any potential issues early on. These visits typically include physical examinations, health screenings, vaccinations, discussions about lifestyle choices, and patient education. By regularly assessing the patient’s well-being, DPC physicians can develop personalized care plans and promote long-term health.

  • Sports Physicals: Sports physicals are examinations performed to assess an individual’s physical fitness and overall health before participating in athletic activities. Direct primary care providers can conduct thorough evaluations to ensure that patients are physically prepared and free from any underlying conditions that could pose risks during sports activities. These examinations typically involve assessing the patient’s medical history, conducting physical examinations, and recommending any necessary interventions or precautions.

  • Women’s Wellness Visits: Direct primary care also caters to the specific healthcare needs of women. Women’s wellness visits may include gynecological examinations, Pap smears, breast exams, contraceptive counseling, preconception care, menopause management, and screenings for conditions like cervical and breast cancer. DPC physicians build a trusted relationship with their female patients, addressing their concerns and promoting women’s health throughout various life stages.
  • Preventive Care: Preventive care plays a vital role in maintaining good health and preventing future illnesses. Direct primary care models prioritize preventive services, such as health screenings, vaccinations, health risk assessments, and lifestyle counseling. By proactively addressing risk factors and identifying potential health issues early on, DPC physicians can work with patients to develop personalized preventive care plans. This approach aims to minimize the development and progression of chronic diseases, leading to better health outcomes.

  • Minor Procedures: Direct primary care providers are equipped to perform a variety of minor procedures within their clinics. These may include wound repair, wart and lesion removal, biopsies, incision and drainage of abscesses, and more. By offering minor procedures on-site, DPC physicians provide convenient and timely care, avoiding the need for referrals to specialists or hospitals for minor surgical interventions. This promotes continuity of care and ensures that patients can receive the necessary treatments efficiently.

Direct Primary Care, A Unique Healthcare Offering in Pagosa Springs

We are currently the only practice in Pagosa Springs to offer our patients Direct Primary Care. Now is the time to take advantage of this unique opportunity.


Anyone can sign up for Direct Primary Care which is a flat, recurring monthly fee, like a membership, paid directly to us. This cuts out the need for insurance companies in primary care and allows us to expand quality healthcare to you. Since there is no contracting with insurance companies then we are able to eliminate insurance co-pays, deductibles or co-insurance fees. We can also significantly reduce healthcare costs and pass those savings onto our patients.


The best part about Direct Primary Care is that you can combine this option with a low-cost, high-deductible healthcare plan to use for emergencies or specialists.
