Plum Health Direct Primary Care Simplifies How Patients Connect with their Doctor
Health Insurance Overcomplicates Health Care
Intentionally or unintentionally, health insurance companies have made the practice of medicine overly complicated. As a patient, have you ever felt like you wanted to ask your doctor a simple question, but didn’t want to have to call the office, to leave a message, to have someone pass that message to the doctor, to have the doctor call you back 3 days later? I mean, what gives? We have text messaging and emails that make communication seamless among regular people, but for some reason, doctors remain out of reach.
I was watching the Super Bowl Halftime Show when I saw The Weeknd trying to find his way through a house of mirrors. It reminded me of how patients feel when trying to navigate the health insurance system - it’s hard to find your way through a distorted system with blinding lights. So, I made this post on my LinkedIn page (connect with me on LinkedIn if you haven’t already!):
Trying to navigate the health insurance system when all you want to do is ask your doctor a simple question...
This is why so many people are reaching out to their Direct Primary Care doctor - we get rid of this house of mirrors and the distorted versions of primary care and create a system where the patient's needs are prioritized.

Direct Primary Care Simplifies the Healthcare Experience
The direct primary care model simplifies health care delivery in that our patients are able to text, email, or call us anytime. We guarantee a response within 24 hours, and if you text during business hours, you’ll often hear from us within a few minutes to a few hours. This takes a lot of the anxiety and stress out of the health care experience and our patients can seamlessly access the care that they need, when they need it.
