-
No. You can come to us for headache care only.
Some patients choose a headache membership for ongoing care, while others prefer direct-pay / pay-per-visit visits.
-
No. You do not need insurance to become a member. However, we are not a form of insurance.
We do not bill commercial insurance. Many patients keep a high-deductible or catastrophic insurance plan for hospital care, surgery, and specialists, and use our direct primary care membership for everyday medical needs. You can also use HSA funds for membership & any procedures.
-
Many people with insurance still feel frustrated with their care. Premiums keep going up, deductibles are high, copays add up, networks are narrow, referrals are required, and coverage is often denied for the care you actually want.
Our clinic works differently.
At Northwest DPC & Headache, you pay us directly instead of going through your insurance for primary and headache care. That allows us to:
Offer simple, flat pricing instead of surprise bills
Take more time with you at each visit
Give you shorter wait times and more flexible scheduling
We also have time to help you use your insurance when it makes sense - such as for medications, imaging, or referrals. Many headache and migraine treatments are not well covered or are hard to access, like Botox, nerve blocks, and trigger point injections, so we also sometimes utilize insurance to pay for the medication. We don’t get paid by your insurance, but we can still work with you to try to get coverage when possible and help you navigate those hoops.
Most of all, we focus on you—listening carefully, doing a thoughtful exam, and using up-to-date, evidence-based care to build a plan that fits your life. Your visits aren’t rushed, and you’re treated like a person, not a number.
Still Have Questions?
