There are many types of birth control, including pills, patches, injections, implants, intrauterine devices (IUDs), condoms, diaphragms, and sterilization. Birth control prevents pregnancy or regulates menstrual cycles. A few birth control methods also prevent sexually transmitted diseases (STIs).
For a flat monthly fee, patients have unlimited access to their primary care physician with direct primary care (DPC). There is less paperwork, lower costs, and more personalized care when you use DPC instead of an insurance company or third-party payer. In addition to longer visits, same-day appointments, phone and email consultations, and discounted prices for labs and medications, DPC patients can enjoy longer visits.
DPC can help you manage your birth control in several ways:
A DPC doctor, who knows your medical history, preferences, and goals, can help you choose the best birth control method for you.
Directly from your DPC doctor or at a discounted price from a partner pharmacy, you can get your birth control prescriptions, refills, and supplies.
No copays or deductibles are required for regular check-ups, screenings, and counseling related to your birth control and reproductive health from your DPC doctor.
If you experience any side effects or complications from your birth control, you can contact your DPC doctor.
DPC offers many benefits for patients who use birth control, such as:
There is no need to deal with insurance hassles or referrals when you can get all your birth control needs met in one place.
With a flat monthly fee instead of variable charges based on insurance plans, you can save money on birth control and other health care services.
DPC doctors have more time and attention to devote to you and your health goals, so you can receive high-quality care.
Having confidential conversations with your DPC doctor about your birth control and sexual health is easy.
Anyone who wants more control over their birth control and health care can benefit from DPC. With a DPC practice, you can enjoy a more personalized and satisfying relationship with your doctor, who can help you find the best birth control method and support you throughout your reproductive journey.
