Your membership includes a comprehensive range of services at no additional cost: rapid antigen testing for strep, influenza A & B, and COVID-19; urine pregnancy testing; EKGs; skin procedures; laceration repair; in-office visits; telemedicine consultations; and communication via text and email.
When specialty care is needed, we’ll provide a referral—typically after a thorough consultation to help avoid unnecessary visits. While specialty care is outside the scope of Direct Primary Care, we can connect you with trusted resources, including a new local cash-based outpatient surgical and specialty center, as well as national centers known for offering more affordable cash-pay pricing.
This is a huge benefit for members of Direct Primary Care. We are able to offer at-cost prescriptions from whole-sale suppliers, which are often 80-90% cheaper than if you were to buy them from the pharmacy!
We negotiate highly discounted lab prices on your behalf, providing complete transparency so you never face unexpected expenses. All members have access to our exclusive client billing account with major national laboratories, offering discounts of 75–90% compared to standard rates. This ensures you receive high-quality lab services at a fraction of the typical cost. Whether for routine tests or more specialized panels, you benefit from affordable pricing without compromising on accuracy or convenience.
We’ve negotiated significantly reduced cash-pay rates for advanced imaging, specifically CT and MRI scans—often 30–50% lower than typical insurance-based pricing. To access these savings, members pay us directly at the time of service, as advanced imaging is not included in the membership fee. You’re also welcome to use your insurance and choose an alternative imaging provider if you prefer.Let me know if you'd like to mention where the imaging is done or how referrals are handled.
No, Baker Direct Primary Care does not bill insurance, nor do we provide superbills/receipts for insurance reimbursement. Our practice operates on a membership model, allowing us to offer transparent, high-quality care without the administrative burden of insurance billing. This approach helps us focus entirely on your health, with more time, better access, and transparent cost. You are still welcome to use your insurance for services outside our office, such as prescriptions, labs, imaging, or specialist care.Let me know if you'd like this made more concise or adjusted for a specific format like a FAQ page.
Baker Direct Primary Care recommends maintaining major medical coverage through your employer or by purchasing insurance on the individual market. You might also consider medical cost-sharing programs as an alternative way to manage larger medical expenses. If your employer provides health insurance, Baker Direct Primary Care remains an excellent option for your primary care needs, and you can continue to use your insurance for services outside of our practice, with only a few exceptions.
