A Different Way to Be Cared For
Traditional care often means short visits, long waits, and a new face each time, with insurance dictating how much time you get. Direct primary care works differently: one flat monthly membership, paid directly to your physician, replaces the usual maze of copays and per-visit billing. That structure is what makes longer visits, direct communication, and true continuity possible.
MEMBERSHIP
Everyday care.
INSURANCE
The big, unexpected things.
How Membership Works With Your Insurance
Do You Still Need Health Insurance? Yes.
Membership covers your ongoing primary care with Dr. Jaffrey. Health insurance is still important for emergencies, hospital stays, surgery, advanced imaging, and specialist care. Many direct primary care members pair their membership with a high-deductible health plan, using membership for everyday care and insurance for the big, unexpected things.* Direct primary care does not provide emergency, hospital, or specialist care. HSA funds may be used toward the $1,800 annual membership; labs, medications, and programs are additional.
*Atlas Direct is an fixed insurance plan that comlements DPC starting at $60/mo.
For patients who want more than standard care allows, Crescent also offers deeper, life-stage-specific plans that build on membership, coordinating labs, medications, and services around your particular goals, with everything discussed and priced before you commit to anything.

How we compare
One Coordinated Plan vs. a Fragmented System
Six Ways Direct Primary Care Is Different
Direct primary care replaces per-visit billing with one flat membership, and that is what makes longer visits, direct access, and one coordinated plan possible.
Traditional care often means waiting weeks, sometimes months, for an initial visit; seeing a new face at every visit; and confusion and frustration when symptoms remain unexplained by “normal” test results. Your health is more than a collection of appointments, test results, and specialist recommendations. Crescent Medical brings those pieces together through one dedicated physician who understands the full picture and makes sure nothing important gets lost along the way.
