We work for you, not for insurance companies
By freeing our practice from the limitations and regulations of insurance companies, we are able to provide eye care that extends far beyond the norm. The cornerstone of this care is our Direct Eye Care Membership plan.
The Direct Care Concept
You may be hearing about Direct Primary Care in the broader field of healthcare. The DPC model affords the patient access to their doctor for all primary care services by means of a simple, low, monthly fee. Since the doctor no longer has the overhead and administrative burden imposed by insurance, he or she can spend more time with patients, caring for their needs rather than satisfying the insurance company's demands, and reducing costs to patients at the same time. DPC has been gaining popularity with primary care physicians across the country, and we are excited to adopt a similar model, bringing Direct Eye Care to McMinn County.
