People with albinism have pale or white skin, hair, and eyes due to a lack of melanin, a pigment that gives color to their skin, hair, and eyes. This genetic condition has been linked to albinism. As well as vision problems, albinism can cause nystagmus, strabismus, and low vision in people of any race or ethnicity. It is inherited from both parents.
For people with albinism, there is a better alternative to traditional health care: direct primary care (DPC). In exchange for a monthly or annual fee, primary care physicians can offer their services directly to their patients, without an insurance company in the middle. Primary care services are covered with this fee, including consultations, exams, care coordination, and comprehensive care management. Additionally, some DPC practices offer discounted lab tests, medications, and behavioral health counseling.
DPC membership: You can sign up for a DPC membership by filling out an enrollment form and paying a monthly or annual fee. You can cancel your membership at any time.
Start your albinism management with your DPC doctor: You can begin your albinism management by scheduling an initial visit with your DPC doctor, where you can discuss your medical history, current condition, goals, and expectations. In addition to medications, counseling, referrals, and follow-ups, your doctor can design a customized treatment plan for you.
As Oscar Wilde said, “Be yourself; everyone else is already taken.” By choosing DPC for your albinism management, you can embrace your uniqueness and beauty.
