Functional Direct Primary Care and Family Medicine

A functional medicine provider can serve in a primary care role when their professional scope, training, and practice model support comprehensive primary care. At Holistic Direct Primary Care, Dr. Jewel Tartt is an APRN, FNP-C, and DNP providing adult family medicine alongside functional, holistic, conventional, and alternative approaches. Care includes prevention, ongoing health management, education, coordination, and referrals when specialty care is appropriate.

Coverage for functional medicine varies by insurance plan, provider credentials, services, and whether the provider participates in that plan. Holistic Direct Primary Care is a self-pay practice and does not accept insurance, including Medicare or Medicaid. Members pay directly rather than using copays or submitting insurance claims through the practice, which helps provide straightforward practice pricing without surprise bills from the practice.

Direct primary care is a membership-based healthcare model in which patients pay the practice directly for ongoing primary care access rather than billing insurance for routine services. Holistic Direct Primary Care offers self-pay membership options with no enrollment or registration fees. Membership includes comprehensive consultations, annual physical exams, and unlimited portal messaging, with in-home and virtual care options available.

Functional primary care combines routine primary care with attention to lifestyle, prevention, and factors that can influence overall wellbeing. Services may include health-history review, preventive planning, chronic-condition support, education, exercise and fitness guidance, weight-management discussions, supplements, and alternative approaches when appropriate. Your care plan remains personalized and can also include conventional treatment, testing, referrals, and coordination with other providers.

Holistic Direct Primary Care serves adults ages 18 and older who want personalized, whole-person primary care. It is well suited to people seeking preventive guidance, functional or alternative medicine approaches, chronic-condition support, in-home visits, or virtual care. Small businesses may also inquire about membership-based healthcare options. A consultation can help determine whether the practice model aligns with your needs.

Yes. An annual physical exam is included with membership at Holistic Direct Primary Care. This visit creates time to review your health history, preventive needs, current concerns, medications, wellness priorities, and goals for the coming year. It can also guide follow-up recommendations, health education, and coordination with specialists or other members of your care team when needed.

Holistic Direct Primary Care offers same-day or next-day appointment availability when scheduling permits. Appointment format depends on your care needs and may be arranged as an in-home or virtual visit. Regular office hours are Monday through Friday, 9 AM to 3 PM. Members can also use unlimited portal messaging for non-urgent communication and ongoing support between visits.

In-home primary care visits are available in Bradenton, Manatee County, Sarasota County, and locations within approximately 25 miles of Bradenton, Florida. Virtual visits provide another convenient option for eligible care needs. Because travel logistics and appointment availability can vary, the practice can confirm whether your address is within the current in-home service area when you request care.
