  • Salt Lake doctors are switching from traditional
    insurance-run to direct primary care. Direct
    primary care does not accept insurance. Because
    they do not accept insurance, they can spend
    unlimited time with their patients and
    communicate with them without scheduling an
    appointment three months out. The physician and
    patient are directly connected. Doctors can focus
    more time on attending and diagnosing the patient
    rather than solely working with the insurance
    companies on what the patient can or cannot
    afford. This healthcare method encourages price
    transparency because doctors know exactly how
    much a treatment or test will cost a patient.
    Colleagues in a direct primary care clinic can
    easily work together on different cases. They
    learn from one another to give patients the most
    focused healthcare possible. In a traditional
    hospital setting, doctors report what the patient
    needs in terms of medical help to the insurance
    company. The insurance company decides what is
    important and what isn't. The issue with this
    process is insurance companies are not doctors.
    They have no idea what the policyholder's best
    course of action is.

  • On the other hand, health insurance is a
    business, and they cannot afford to pay for
    everything a patient may need. As a result, there
    is a disconnect between the insurance company and
    the doctors, which gets frustrating, which is why
    doctors are switching to a direct primary care
    clinic. A physician is an email away and can call
    you at a moment's notice. These days,
    communicating with your doctor could mean using
    an app, so no time is wasted.

Direct primary care is a membership with
unlimited visits monthly, typically between 25
to 85 per month. The price is less high than
traditional health insurance. Some plans cover
visits, routine lac tests, and some
prescriptions. Unfortunately, direct primary care
does not cover hospitals, but insurance companies
cannot dictate how physicians treat their
patients. As a patient, you have to decide what
is important to you when receiving healthcare. Is
it more important for you to pay for healthcare
with insurance, or do you need quality healthcare
at a fair price? Each family should evaluate
their healthcare needs and decide whether Salt
Lake direct primary care would work for them.

Zenith Direct Care of Salt Lake offers four
different memberships based on age, ranging from
15 to 99 per month. This price benefits large
families as it's much cheaper when compared to
traditional health insurance. For example, a
family of five on a traditional health insurance
plan could pay up to 18,343.00 annually.
However, the same family could pay 12,183.00
annually on a direct primary care plan. That's a
savings of up to 6,000.00. Zenith Direct Care
offers two locations in the Salt Lake area and
one in Saratoga Springs. Call 801-676-6161 for
membership quotes, information, and support.
