We make two promises to you as a patient:  easy access and transparent pricing.  With NewCare MD, you can expect little to no wait times, longer appointments and increased access to your doctor.  No more rushed visits or waiting weeks for an appointment.  Text, phone or email your NewCare MD physician day or night.  In return, you pay a nominal monthly membership fee that gives you unlimited office visits.  No copays or deductibles, ever.  Click here to explore all of the benefits included with monthly membership.

All patients are encouraged to have at least major medical insurance coverage.  The ACA legislation does exempt patients from the underinsured/non­insured tax if you have major medical/catastrophic coverage and a physician on retainer, which is what you get with NewCare MD.

One way to save money on your healthcare is by getting insurance with low premiums and high deductibles.  DPC doctors strive to eliminate insurance claims.  Let’s say you need some routine lab tests.  Why pay $200 toward a deductible you’re unlikely to meet when you can get the same tests from a DPC doctor for $15 in cash?  (Added bonus: in many cases these tests can also be applied to your catastrophic coverage deductible!)

Possibly, depending on your insurance company. In some cases you can submit a receipt for your membership fees or lab/medication costs. Some insurance companies will apply these payments toward a deductible.

The law currently allows the use of HSA money to pay for medications, imaging tests, labs, etc. However, it is legally unclear if HSA funds can be used to pay for DPC membership fees. This is a question for your tax professional. Legislation has been proposed to clear up the question regarding if HSA money can be spent on a DPC physician’s retainer or membership fee (click here to find out how you can help the DPC cause).

Our monthly membership fee is based on the patient’s age. We also offer wholesale pricing on medications, labs and tests. Our prescription drug prices are so low that some of our patients will find that their prescription savings are greater than their monthly membership fee. Patients will be offered wholesale cash prices on lab tests and we are currently negotiating contracts for bottom-dollar access to radiological services such as X­-Rays, CT scans, MRI’s and mammograms.

Each NewCare MD clinic only accepts a limited number of patients. Considering that today’s managed care market has driven general practitioners to average 3,000 patients, it’s no wonder you encounter long waits! We purposefully keep our patient panel low so we can get you in quickly and spend plenty of time with you. This kind of attention and accessibility is almost nonexistent with current urgent care clinics.

If you are admitted to a hospital, NewCare MD physicians will not be able to care for you during your stay at the hospital. However, we are able to stay in very close communication with you to answer any questions that may arise during your hospitalization and will be ready to assume post-hospital follow-up care in clinic after your discharge from the hospital.

For our members, we only dispense medications that can save you money. Therefore, almost all of the medications in our extensive inventory are generic. Name-brand prescriptions are generally expensive so you’ll normally get a better price on those drugs using an insurance prescription drug benefit or a prescription drug discount card at your local pharmacy. We do not dispense any DEA-controlled medications such as narcotic pain medicine, sedatives or stimulants.

We know that illness and injuries don’t always happen during office hours. If you need to get in touch with us to order a prescription refill or schedule an appointment, you can directly e-mail our nurse or your physician at anytime or leave us a voice mail. If you have a non-urgent question, but one that probably shouldn’t wait until tomorrow, members can send their doctor a text message and expect a prompt reply. Lastly, if you have an urgent issue after-hours, our doctors are typically available directly via phone until 8:00 p.m.

NewCare MD is not accepting new patients for pharmaceutical treatment of Chronic Pain. New Opioid Prescribing Guidelines have recently been released by the CDC to combat the prescription drug abuse epidemic, and those patients who use narcotics for chronic pain are encouraged to seek a pain treatment center. NewCare MD does not prescribe stimulant weight loss medications due to lack of proven long-term effectiveness and the adverse risk profiles of such medications. NewCare MD does not prescribe controlled sedatives for the treatment of chronic anxiety.

Almost all of the routine procedures NewCare MD performs have no additional charge to members. There are a few exceptions for the more complicated procedures. Our pricing page has details. NewCare MD may charge mileage at IRS rates for house calls.

Yes! There are times when a house call is the best answer, and the DPC model affords family doctors the time to get out of the office when necessary. Obviously if we are driving we can’t be caring for other patients, so we’ll be limiting house calls to those absolutely necessary. For house calls out of town, we will charge mileage; otherwise, there is no additional charge for house calls.
