What is included in my membership?

All office visits are included with no co-pay or extra fee. All communication is, too.

Many procedures are included, such as joint injections, skin biopsies, sutures, pap smears, etc.

Please note, at this time, vaccines are not included in membership. However, we are often able to get these through pharmacies or the health department. If you have questions, please reach out.

How much does it cost?

$150 per individual, or $350 per family, per month. There is a one-time $100 registration fee per member. Membership is billed once your membership is accepted, on a monthly basis.

What is not included in my membership?

Labs are available at-cost with our deeply discounted Labcorp contract. You can also use your insurance for these things by going directly to Labcorp, though insurance prices (if not fully covered by your plan) often exceed ours by a significant amount.

Procedures that require extra supplies may result in extra cost (ex. IUD purchase).

We will always tell you the exact cost ahead of time. There is NO surprise billing in DPC.

Do you take insurance?

We do not process insurance for office visits nor do we provide superbills. However, we will work with insurance to cover medications, labs, imaging, and specialist consults. We do not directly bill or deal with insurance. By cutting the middle man out, we are much more equipped to serve YOU, instead of serving insurance companies.

Do I still need insurance?

This is an individual decision. Having some sort of coverage for hospitalizations, specialists, or unforeseen illness is wise. There are options other than insurance, such as health shares. Although 80-90% of healthcare can be completed at our DPC office, some additional coverage is beneficial for these emergencies, expensive medications, or changes in health.

How do I cancel my membership?

If DPC isn’t right for you, no worries. Just send us an email and we’ll take care of the rest. 30 days notice is required. There is no minimum time requirement for membership.

What if I cancelled my membership, but want to rejoin?

There is a $400 re-enrollment fee. Patients who have cancelled more than once will not be eligible for re-enrollment. Patients who have been discharged from the practice are not eligible for reenrollment.

What ages do you see?

Birth-100+. We offer home visits for newborns, and home-bound individuals once per quarter.

Do you provide vaccinations?

For VFC eligible patients (uninsured, SD medicaid, and IHS), we are proud to offer free vaccination.

For other vaccinations, pharmacy benefits will be used to fill vaccines at the pharmacy and administer in office.

As always, please support legislation that allows public health access to vaccines for ALL South Dakotans through the public health department.
