Membership FAQ:
Pros of membership:
- Better access – Dr. Sanders can see his patients same-day or next-day in most cases
- Shorter wait time – members rarely spend time in the waiting room
- More time with Dr. Sanders – extended office visits and face to face time with Dr. Sanders to meet your needs
- Cost-effective testing and treatments – pricing is transparent and offered at wholesale prices to keep costs down for the patient
- No copay – see Dr. Sanders or communicate via phone/text/video any time at no additional cost
What if I need emergency or hospital care?
- Insurance coverage for hospital care and emergency care is recommended. Coupling Dr. Sanders’ clinic offerings with a high deductible insurance plan or sharing ministry plan can offer substantial savings. Please inquire if you would like specific recommendations.
How can I afford this?
- Some health sharing ministries will pay for Direct Primary Care services
- Insurance deductibles, copays, cost of labs, medications, etc. can oftentimes exceed the cost of membership with a lesser quality of care
- Insurance should be utilized for high cost medical needs, not for routine visits, labs, and medications (similar to car insurance)
To keep costs down, Dr. Sanders:
- Cuts out the middle man (insurance company) from routine medical care
- Passes on to patients group membership pricing that obtain substantial cost savings for routine labs, medications, and supplies
- Practices evidence-based medicine
