The Powers Family Medicine Direct Primary Care Membership for Dr. Powers is a membership program with quarterly fees that provides expanded access to Dr. Powers and select services without copays, deductibles and without billing or using insurance. Key features include:

• Direct Primary Care members get 12 appointments annually (with additional appointments costing $40) with no copay.

• Members are able to message Dr. Powers anytime to get primary care services like physicals, preventive care, urgent care, managing chronic diseases, and mental healthcare, without worrying about hidden costs.

• Members can still use their Meridian insurance or Commercial (Private) insurance for lab visits, imaging and other diagnostics, specialists, medication, and other services that Dr. Powers might recommend or refer.

• Without having to deal with insurance for core services, arbitrary, intrusive decisions that inevitably follow with third-party payors telling us what is best for Dr. Powers’ patients will be reduced.

• Should federally funded health programs change in the future, the Direct Primary Care Membership enables Dr. Powers to provide uninterrupted care to patients.

• Additional benefits, including two 15-minute laser sessions and discounted hormonal pellet implantation, among other complimentary or discounted services, are included.

Why is Dr. Powers moving to this type of care?

Dr. Powers is shifting to Direct Primary Care (effective immediately for new patients and January 1, 2025, for existing patients) for several reasons, including:

• Arbitrary, intrusive decisions that inevitably follow with third-party payors telling us what is best for Dr. Powers’ patients will be reduced.

• Should federally funded health programs change in the future, the Direct Primary Care Membership enables Dr. Powers to provide uninterrupted care to patients.

• Revenues received by the Powers Family Medicine Direct Primary Care Membership will offset the financial impact caused by our acceptance of Meridian Medicaid. By remaining a patient of Dr. Powers and joining the Powers Family Medicine Direct Primary Care Membership, you are enabling us to keep accepting Meridian and directly supporting a patient in need. If Dr. Powers didn’t move to a Direct Primary Care Membership, our practice wouldn’t be able to accept Medicaid for any providers due to overhead costs.

Existing patients should ask their Provider non-urgent questions at their next appointment or use the message feature in the Patient Portal to send a message. Your Provider will respond as soon as they are able to.

At this time, we can not answer questions for non-patients. If you are having a medical or mental health emergency, please dial 911.

The therapy cats are in the office most days. However, they are friendly, hypoallergenic, and not a single patient in two years has had an allergic reaction, not even those with anaphylaxis to cats.
