Answers to some of the frequently asked questions
What does holistic care mean?
Holistic care is providing healthcare to balance every part of Your life for optimal health and total wellness.
Each part of Your life depends on and affects the other parts. Empowering You to make healthier choices in one part or another helps to balance Your overall health and wellness.
Our goal is to treat Your whole Person with the best healthcare that will meet Your physical, mental, spiritual and social needs so You can feel healthy and whole.
What is so great about direct primary care?
The best part about Direct Primary Care is that health insurance is not involved.
If You need an appointment with us, You do not have to pay any co-pays, file any insurance claims, or get surprise medical bills from us.
Direct Primary Care is how we set up our Practice and payment system.
You pay us directly – a monthly membership fee – and we show up to care for You.
Why don't you have office visits?
We are not offering In-Office Visits at this time.
Holistic DPC is a small practice that never compromises on the quality of care we provide You.
By doing In-Home and Virtual Visits only, we are better able to ensure we keep You at the center of Your healthcare.
Plus we are better able to keep our services that much more accessible, affordable and convenient for You.
How long are the visits?
Your New Patient, In-Home Visit is 45 minutes to 1 hour
Your Routine In-Home Visit is 30 – 45 minutes
Your Screening/Testing Visit (In-Home or Telehealth) is 1 hour
Your Routine Follow-Up Visit (In-Home or Telehealth) is up to 30 minutes
Your Sick Visit (In-Home or Telehealth) is up to 30 minutes
Your Sick Visit Follow-Up (In-Home or Telehealth) is up to 15 minutes
What is Functional Medicine?
Functional Medicine is a more personalized type of healthcare that identifies the root cause of Your disease by assessing every factor that affects Your health.
Most holistic Providers prefer to avoid prescribing conventional medications or recommending surgery.
Our approach is a sophisticated and practical method that applies the beneficial aspects of conventional, holistic, functional and alternative medicines.
We are better able to advise You of the best treatment options for You since we can customize Your care using this approach.
What are Point-of-Care Services?
Point-of-Care refers to the time and place of Your Visit.
Near-Patient or Bedside Testing (as it is also called) facilitates Your healthcare management because it increases the likelihood of receiving quicker results.
The Point-of-Care services we offer include tests, screenings, injections and vaccinations.
Not only does it contribute to workflow, collaboration and communication, but also to Your safety through accurate and timely data.
What IV Therapies do you offer?
We offer IV Therapy because it is an efficient and direct way to give Your body what it needs.
IV Fluids hydrate and balance metabolites.
IV Nutrients supplement Your diet and enhance Your health.
IV Medications help treat certain health conditions.
Do you offer specialty healthcare?
Holistic DPC is a Family Medicine practice so we do not provide extensive Specialty Healthcare.
However we do offer Specialty Care Services, including Sports Physicals, Diabetes Management, Cardiac Evaluations, etc..
And because we offer Primary Care, we are the best source to refer You to any Specialists, when necessary, through our best-in-class Partners.
What is a growth mindset?
A growth mindset is an attitude of learning and perseverance.
Choosing to see challenges and failures as opportunities for growth and feedback is a healthy attitude that affects every part of Your life.
We have seen many of our Patients improve their well-being because they increased their motivation, achievements and coping skills, and we can give You the tools to have the same success.
Do you offer financial planning or tax services?
One aspect of our holistic services is financial guidance from a Licensed Financial Professional.
Your financial health is important to Your total health and well-being.
That is why we address Your behavior and attitudes related to financial planning and we offer
- financial education and planning
- retirement, savings and income planning
- insurance planning
- investment planning to diversify your portfolio
We listen to Your needs, we ask questions to determine Your financial goals, then together we develop a plan for You to meet Your goals.
What is social wellness?
Social wellness is balancing the needs of Your private life with the needs of Your public life.
This balance involves building healthy, nurturing, and supportive relationships, and making genuine connections with People around You.
You can build a positive social network where You can be comfortable in social situations, increase Your self-esteem and emotional resilience, and create boundaries that encourage communication, trust, and conflict management.
We can equip You with the tools to enhance Your personal relationships and maintain Your social wellness.
How do you help me to be spiritually healthy?
The more revelation of Jesus Christ and His finished work on the cross, the love of The Father, and the fellowship of The Holy Spirit we receive, the more we share.
And the more we share, the more we receive.
In this way, we are blessed to be a blessing to You, our Holistic DPC Community, and to our Friends and Families.
We are living testimonies that The Lord Jesus is alive and He is our Provider.
And we are excited to share this abundant life with You.
Would you be my Provider if I were admitted to the hospital?
If You were admitted to the hospital, our Provider would not treat You during Your stay.
However, our Provider would visit You when possible, and definitely consult with the Hospital Care Team to communicate and collaborate in order to provide the best treatment possible.
This allows us to best manage Your care when You are discharged so You can enjoy optimal health outcomes as soon as possible.
What apps and wearable devices do you recommend?
“There’s an app for that.”
Apps designed for You to be able to investigate Your own symptoms have come a long way, but they are still too new and may be misleading, causing more worry or harm than necessary.
But at Holistic DPC we only recommend those apps and wearable devices that help You to monitor Your vital signs.
Even these recommendations are based on Your individual health profile and circumstances.
Do I still need health insurance?
At Holistic DPC You will not need health insurance.
Ideally, Your Primary Care with us would serve to reduce the need for increased prescriptions, emergency department visits, or hospitalizations because Your care is preventative and holistic.
But if You do need to see Specialists, fill certain prescriptions, or go to the Hospital, having health insurance could be beneficial towards paying those costs.
