Healthcare should be personal and rooted in trust.

DPC is a membership-based healthcare model that allows patients to have direct access to their physician without the barriers of traditional insurance. Members pay a flat monthly fee for unlimited visits, longer appointment times, and personalized care.

No. Magnolia Medicine does not bill or accept insurance. This allows us to keep our care affordable, transparent, and focused on your needs, rather than on paperwork or billing codes. However, patients with insurance can still utilize it for services such as prescriptions, laboratory tests, imaging, and specialist visits.

No. Magnolia Medicine has officially opted out of the Medicare program. If you have Medicare, you may still join our practice; however, you will be required to sign a one-time waiver stating that neither you nor your physician will submit claims to Medicare for services provided by Magnolia Medicine.

Not quite. While both DPC and concierge practices offer personalized care and improved access, DPC is more affordable and does not bill insurance. Our model is designed to increase access, reduce costs, and eliminate bureaucratic hurdles for everyday care.

We’ll help coordinate any needed care with specialists or diagnostic services. While these services are not included in your membership, we’ll refer you to high-quality, cost-conscious options and help navigate next steps. Insurance can be used for outside care if applicable.

No. Magnolia Medicine is not a health insurance plan. Insurance is not required at Magnolia Medicine, but we recommend maintaining a high-deductible insurance plan or other coverage to help with unexpected hospitalizations, surgeries, or specialist care not covered under Direct Primary Care (DPC).

We do not recommend canceling your insurance. While our clinic covers most of your primary care needs, having insurance is important for unexpected and expensive events, such as hospitalizations or surgeries.

You can cancel at any time with a 30-day notice. We collect payment for your first and last month upfront, so if you decide to cancel, there are no surprise fees or hassles—just clear communication and closure.
