Who We Are
At New Freedom Family Medicine, we are a family-based practice. Our team, led by Dr. Allen, includes physicians, nurse practitioners, and nurses. To provide the best care, we have a collaborative team approach and may ask that you see an assistant physician or nurse practitioner first. For patients who want to see Dr. Allen or Dr. McClintock first, simply let us know, and we will flag your chart. With a direct primary care model, you won’t feel like you’re being rushed in and out of a doctor’s appointment. Instead, you’ll feel like you’re being heard, understood, and cared for.
At our practice, we are here to answer any questions you have about your health. Even it’s a small concern, we are here to provide information. Knowing that you can see or talk to a member of our healthcare team offers great peace of mind and can be a huge stress reliever.
What We Do
Direct primary care (DPC) is an alternative healthcare model that separates primary care from traditional insurance. Without the traditional fee-for-service insurance billing, we can deliver better care more affordably.
Traditionally, this is how physicians practiced medicine before insurance companies began to play a huge role in our healthcare system. Primary care isn’t expensive when you remove the insurance middleman.
Affordable & Accessible Direct Primary Care
When you choose DPC, you pay a monthly membership fee to be a part of our practice based on your age. Then you can plan your care with a range of services that are included in your membership. Tests like EKGs, urinalysis, and pregnancy test are covered. Annual physicals, well-woman visits, counseling about chronic illness? Covered too. We also offer procedures like joint injections and sutures. We even cover skin lesion removal, although there may be an additional charge if a sample is sent to the lab or pathology. We always discuss any added costs before ordering any tests or treatments.
Because some services are not covered by primary care, we suggest investing in coverage for emergencies. Our program pairs nicely with any traditional insurance or cost-sharing insurance options. Also, we work with members to make sure we use their benefits effectively.
DPC offers some great advantages:
- High-quality, personalized care
- Extended, relaxed visits (30 minutes to 1 hour is the norm)
- Transparent pricing
- Same day or next day scheduling
- Telehealth
- Coordination of care if you need to see a specialist
- Home and assisted living/nursing home visits
- Answered emails and phone calls
- Regular office hours
- No insurance fees and more!
All these advantages can lead to better health outcomes and fewer urgent care and emergency room visits.
