Frequently Asked Questions

How is Direct Primary Care (DPC) different?

  • DPC puts the focus back on the patient–doctor relationship. With DPC, you get a doctor who truly cares about you and makes you feel heard. You'll get unlimited access to your doctor, longer visits, and direct communication. No co-pays. No rushed appointments. No surprise bills. Because we don’t rely on insurance, we can spend more time focusing on what matters most: you. For a more visual look, watch this four minute video about DPCs.

Is DPC a new concept?

  • Direct Primary Care (DPC) may feel new, but it's not a new concept. While it has gained momentum over the past decade, the idea is simple: patients pay a flat monthly membership fee in exchange for more personalized care. With DPC, your doctor truly knows you and tailors your health plan to you.

Can anyone join or is it exclusive to certain people?

  • Anyone and everyone can join our practice – all are welcome, even pediatrics! Healing Grace DPC is not exclusive and anyone can become a member. We also welcome current patients who would like to follow Dr. Fasick to our new practice. DPC is designed to be accessible to all individuals and families.

Do you take insurance?

  • No and yes. Healing Grace takes people with all insurance plans or no insurance plan, so while we do not bill insurance, that does not exclude anyone. As long as a patient pays the monthly membership fee, anyone can be a patient regardless of having insurance or not.

What if I only go to the doctor twice per year?

  • DPC is still worth it even if you only see your doctor a couple of times a year. The membership covers more than just visits, as it also gives you direct access to your doctor when questions or concerns come up. It also includes longer, unhurried appointments, proactive care, and help managing issues early, before they become serious or costly. Patients often find the peace of mind and personalized care well worth the cost.

How does the pricing work?

  • At Healing Grace DPC, there are no copays or hidden fees. You'll pay one monthly, flat fee. Since you'll have a more transparent and predictable payment structure, it means fewer billing surprises. You can view our pricing on our Pricing page.

Why the monthly membership fee?

  • The monthly membership fee allows Dr. Fasick to provide personalized, unhurried care with focus on prevention, lifestyle medicine, and getting to the root of your health concerns. This model creates space for a deeper patient-doctor relationship and often saves money in the long run.

Why has healthcare become so complicated?

This chart shows how the number of healthcare administrators has grown much faster than the number of doctors from 1970 to 2009. While doctors increased only a little, administrators grew by more than 3,000%. This helps explain why healthcare has become more complicated and costly.
