Will my insurance cover my visit?Nope. Integrity Health Alliance is a direct primary care practice that is a membership-based service. You are welcome, on your own, to file your bill with the insurance or Medicare company.
-
Can I use my HSA, HRA, or FSA to cover membership costs?Unfortunately, as with anything else, politics has muddied the water; the IRS hasn’t acknowledged clearly that Direct Primary Care is a healthcare service (and not a form of insurance), which has muddied the waters when it comes to utilizing HSA/HRA/FSA funds to cover DPC memberships. The best advice may come from your financial advisor and/or human resources representative, regarding these matters. There are proposed bills in the US House and Senate (the Primary Care Enhancement Act, H.R.6015 and S.1989) that would help to clarify these issues. Additional information is provided at these links: Primary Care Enhancement Act – Hint Health Primary Care Enhancement Act of 2016 legislation

Can I get a same-day appointment?Life happens, it can happen quickly. We are like an urgent care, but as a Direct Primary Care, we know your health history. We strive to see our members with acute (new or pressing onset) issues as quickly as possible; ~ 24-48 hours.
