Frequently Asked Questions

Direct Specialty Care (DSC) is a medical payment model where the patient pays the physician a membership fee to be a part of the physician’s practice. Your doctor does not bill insurance for your care, including Medicare, and there are no co-pays. It is a healthcare model that focuses on keeping your care affordable, accessible, and personalized by removing the interface between insurance companies and medical administrators.

• You will receive elite education about your health, mind, and body from experienced primary care-sports medicine professionals.
• You will receive the most innovative healthcare options that truly cater to your personal needs.
• You will receive high-level treatment to help you live the healthiest life possible.
• Your doctor can spend more time with you instead of dealing with insurance companies and going to meetings.
• Your care is no longer constrained to 15-minute appointments.
• Real-time access to your physician via advanced communication technology.
• Instead of leaving your appointment worried about how high your bill will be, you already know the cost…and it’s typically a fracture of what you’re used to.

In other words...it's healthcare as it should be!

If you have traditional insurance, you are free to use it to cover referrals, lab testing, vaccinations, and other costs incurred outside of Hōlistik Wellness Center's monthly fees and in-office costs. If you do not have insurance, Dr. Stewart will work hard to find you the most affordable cash-pay option available. Part of this is done through negotiating for discounted lab, radiology, and medication prices.

While you can save a lot of money (and frustration) through DSC, it is always recommended to have high-deductible catastrophic insurance or to join a Health Sharing Ministry for emergency situations.
