The providers are caught in the middle as they try to balance the care the patient needs with the care the insurance companies allow.<\/p><p class=\"w-rte-editable\" data-w-collection-id=\"626d5e36e9c905247e5f5d24\" data-w-item-id=\"63e2bba5e41eaf4a35f9f033\" data-wf-id=\"[&quot;3ae38912-5b27-6ba4-5e43-8119e4865f20&quot;]\" data-w-id=\"3ae38912-5b27-6ba4-5e43-8119e4865f20\" data-w-text-holder=\"true\">\u200d<\/p><p class=\"w-rte-editable\" data-w-collection-id=\"626d5e36e9c905247e5f5d24\" data-w-item-id=\"63e2bba5e41eaf4a35f9f033\" data-wf-id=\"[&quot;0b6c7224-54f1-63c9-5a91-a2e2b9dae18d&quot;]\" data-w-id=\"0b6c7224-54f1-63c9-5a91-a2e2b9dae18d\" data-w-text-holder=\"true\">Deviating from an insurance company&#8217;s demands means headaches for patients and providers alike. Because of negative experiences with certain insurance companies, many providers only work with a small, set list of companies.<\/p><p class=\"w-rte-editable\" data-w-collection-id=\"626d5e36e9c905247e5f5d24\" data-w-item-id=\"63e2bba5e41eaf4a35f9f033\" data-wf-id=\"[&quot;ec618af6-6449-c107-15da-53bfd769d7e5&quot;]\" data-w-id=\"ec618af6-6449-c107-15da-53bfd769d7e5\" data-w-text-holder=\"true\">\u200d<\/p><p class=\"w-rte-editable\" data-w-collection-id=\"626d5e36e9c905247e5f5d24\" data-w-item-id=\"63e2bba5e41eaf4a35f9f033\" data-wf-id=\"[&quot;c8a154bd-15f6-10d3-64d6-48c3dee63fd2&quot;]\" data-w-id=\"c8a154bd-15f6-10d3-64d6-48c3dee63fd2\" data-w-text-holder=\"true\">Unlike direct primary care, concierge medicine continues to work with insurance and bill for services. These bills are in addition to the fees already paid by the patients.\u00a0<\/p><p class=\"w-rte-editable\" data-w-collection-id=\"626d5e36e9c905247e5f5d24\" data-w-item-id=\"63e2bba5e41eaf4a35f9f033\" data-wf-id=\"[&quot;0ba667d1-a4cf-d619-3998-be7c73bffa95&quot;]\" data-w-id=\"0ba667d1-a4cf-d619-3998-be7c73bffa95\" data-w-text-holder=\"true\">\u200d<\/p><p class=\"w-rte-editable\" data-w-collection-id=\"626d5e36e9c905247e5f5d24\" data-w-item-id=\"63e2bba5e41eaf4a35f9f033\" data-wf-id=\"[&quot;0d8900a0-182b-0ce4-d499-34a9ff18575b&quot;]\" data-w-id=\"0d8900a0-182b-0ce4-d499-34a9ff18575b\" data-w-text-holder=\"true\">In a sense, concierge medicine still \u201cworks\u201d for insurance companies. Anytime insurance is involved, you can expect the unexpected: surprise charges, hyper-inflated costs, copays, and deductibles. In addition, dedicated insurance billers drive up healthcare overhead costs, which are absorbed by patient fees.<\/p><p class=\"w-rte-editable\" data-w-collection-id=\"626d5e36e9c905247e5f5d24\" data-w-item-id=\"63e2bba5e41eaf4a35f9f033\" data-wf-id=\"[&quot;b8026733-84aa-b51c-e2ff-4fda8cb56886&quot;]\" data-w-id=\"b8026733-84aa-b51c-e2ff-4fda8cb56886\" data-w-text-holder=\"true\">\u200d<\/p><p class=\"w-rte-editable\" data-w-collection-id=\"626d5e36e9c905247e5f5d24\" data-w-item-id=\"63e2bba5e41eaf4a35f9f033\" data-wf-id=\"[&quot;185f5f26-dfdd-1549-240b-d817002c292c&quot;]\" data-w-id=\"185f5f26-dfdd-1549-240b-d817002c292c\" data-w-text-holder=\"true\">Direct primary care doesn\u2019t accept insurance, meaning your care remains in your doctor\u2019s hands while you enjoy a predictable monthly price with no unwelcome surprises. With no insurance hassle, patients save more money with direct primary care vs. concierge medicine.<\/p><p class=\"w-rte-editable\" data-w-collection-id=\"626d5e36e9c905247e5f5d24\"
