Why Choose Direct Primary Care (DPC) at Hennessay Medical?

​

Direct Primary Care (DPC) at Hennessay Medical provides regular access to Dr. Hennessay and improved access for sudden health issues, offering a financially savvy solution for those with high-deductible insurance plans. With DPC, enjoy unlimited* office, video, phone, and email consultations, ensuring predictable healthcare expenses and protecting you from unexpected high costs.

​

Benefits of DPC:

• Same or next-day appointments

• Direct access to Dr. Hennessay via phone or email

• Comprehensive wellness exams and screenings included

• Annual wellness labs and specialized screenings for various health conditions

• Predictable monthly healthcare expenses

​​

Pricing:

• Ages 18-39: $199/month

• Ages 40-64: $239/month

• Ages 65 and over: $279/month

​​

A 6-month non-refundable deposit is required initially, after which the fee becomes a monthly recurring charge.

​

By spreading your healthcare spending evenly throughout the year, DPC can help you avoid sudden expenses that can exceed $500 in a single month from multiple visits, offering substantial savings for those frequently accessing care.

​

Our model allows for personalized care by limiting patient enrollment and maintaining flexible scheduling for same-day and after-hours needs.

 

Membership fees can be deducted from your HSA or FSA, although they do not count toward PPO deductibles. ​DPC is not insurance, and maintaining health insurance is required to participate in the DPC membership. Patients often pair DPC with catastrophic-type health insurance or utilize their existing PPO plans for additional coverage. Membership can be canceled with 30 days' notice. Consult your tax advisor regarding HSA/FSA use.

​

Alternatively, consider our Personalized Primary Care option, a hybrid model combining direct primary care with insurance billing. This option offers lower monthly pricing while maintaining all the benefits of access to our clinic, with insurance billing continuing as usual. This may make sense for people with low deductibles, or who do not visit the doctor frequently, but want the reassurance of knowing they will be able to get in to see the same doctor easily.
