Frequently Asked Questions
How does DPC Membership work?
Dr Swat’s DPC Membership follows the Direct Primary Care (DPC) Model.
DPC is NOT medical insurance. It is a membership model paid monthly that provides patients unlimited access to their physician.
The monthly membership fee will be automatically deducted from the account of your choice. In return, patients have access to Dr. Swat and the services she provides. The DPC Membership does not include the cost of medication. There are NO extra fees regardless of how many services Dr. Swat provided. In addition, Dr. Swat is also practicing Functional Medicine and strives to find the root of cause first before utilizing a pharmaceutical approach. But if a pharmaceutical approach is deemed necessary then Dr. Swat will be able to prescribe any needed medications.
Do you need additional insurance? Additional insurance is recommended to cover labs, imaging, specialist consultation, prescriptions, surgeries or hospitalization.
However, Dr. Swat will also be able to secure WHOLESALE costs for labs, imaging, and medications without insurance if desired.
