 Frequently Asked Questions

What does the membership fee cover?

Membership provides you with a personal physician who is dedicated to your health. It also gives you 24/7 access to your physician, or a representative, via multiple avenues with unlimited office or virtual visits.

How much does it cost?

The monthly membership fee for Direct Primary Care will be $100-150, determined by age. There is a one-time enrollment fee of $200.(Enrollment fee for groups/families will be capped at $400.) There are no hidden fees or co-pays.

What is the advantage of Direct Primary Care?

Physicians are not paid per appointment, and each doctor has a patient panel far smaller than those in most traditional practices. This allows them to spend more time with the patient. Typical office visits last 30-60 minutes, as compared with the hurried 15-minute visits in other practices. More time results in better care and, thus, improvements in health. Additionally, virtual (online) visits from the comfort of your home are also available.

What if I need to see a Specialist?

The doctors will refer patients to a specialist when necessary, and often at a discounted rate. If you have a specialist you’re currently seeing, the doctors will be happy to coordinate care and work with your physician or surgeon.

What if I need imaging or lab work?

Through relationships established with local facilities, patients will be provided discounted rates for blood work, X-rays, Ultra-sounds, CT scans and MRIs.

Do I still need insurance?

Yes, it is advised patients keep insurance for emergencies and unforeseen surgical procedures. In general, direct primary care practices can pair well with high deductible health plans or medical cost sharing plans. Check with your company to see if your Health Savings Account (HSA) is eligible. We recommend you consult an insurance broker to decide what plan makes the most sense for you.

I have Medicare. Can I sign up?

Direct Primary Care services are highly valuable to medicare-eligible patients and you can become a patient with us if you have Medicare insurance. You will be able to use your Medicare insurance to cover costs like labs and imaging, but you cannot cover our practice membership costs with your Medicare insurance. Dr. Lenzkes has opted-out of Medicare and, by law, this prohibits anyone (physician or patient) from billing Medicare or seeking reimbursement for services provided through AZ Metabolic Health.
