By biting infected ticks, Lyme disease is transmitted to humans. It causes fevers, headaches, fatigue, and a characteristic rash on the skin. In the absence of treatment, Lyme disease can spread to other parts of the body and cause serious complications, such as arthritis, nerve damage, heart failure, and cognitive impairment. In addition to being difficult to diagnose and treat, Lyme disease can also affect your quality of life, as it can limit your physical and mental capabilities.
Your condition may be causing you to wonder how to get the best care. You may be dissatisfied with the conventional fee-for-service model of health care, where you have to deal with insurance companies, co-pays, deductibles, and limited access to your primary care provider. Lyme disease may be a problem you want to manage more conveniently, affordably, and personally.
This is where direct primary care (DPC) comes in. Using DPC, you pay a flat monthly fee directly to your primary care provider, without any third parties involved. In exchange, you get unlimited access to your provider, who can offer you comprehensive and coordinated care for your Lyme disease. You can use DPC to manage your Lyme disease in a variety of ways, such as:
Direct Primary Care Coalition and American Academy of Family Physicians websites are also useful resources for learning about DPC. You can manage your Lyme disease more effectively, affordably, and conveniently with DPC, by getting personalized, affordable, and convenient care. By empowering you to take charge of your health and well-being, DPC can help you achieve the famous quote by Benjamin Franklin, “An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.”
