Frequently Asked Questions

Port Primary Care & Wellness will provide care for adults age 18 and older.

Not exactly.

The practice is being designed as a hybrid model combining elements of traditional primary care and concierge-style medicine. The goal is to provide more personalized care, greater continuity with your provider, and more transparent access to services.

No.

Our goal is to create a flexible model that allows patients to access personalized care without automatically requiring the type of significant monthly fee commonly associated with traditional concierge medicine.

Insurance and billing details are currently being finalized and will be shared before the practice opens.

Depending on the final model, most services will be offered on a transparent direct-pay basis rather than billed through insurance.

Yes. If you have a high-deductible plan, you may be responsible for the full insurance-negotiated cost of many non-preventive visits until you meet your deductible. Port’s direct-pay visit fees may be lower than that out-of-pocket cost, making this a practical option for sick visits, chronic care, and other everyday health needs.

Our published visit prices let you know the visit fee in advance and compare it with your estimated cost through insurance. Savings depend on your plan and the service; they are not guaranteed.

Some in-network preventive services are covered at no cost even before you meet your deductible. Direct-pay fees may not count toward your deductible or out-of-pocket maximum, so check with your insurer when comparing your options.

Yes.

Even when primary care services are paid for directly, health insurance can remain important for unexpected medical expenses and services outside of the practice, including emergency care, hospitalization, specialists, imaging, surgery, and other higher-cost medical needs.

Continuity of care is one of the foundations of Port Primary Care & Wellness.

The practice is intentionally designed so patients can build an ongoing relationship with the same provider rather than seeing someone different at every appointment.

Services are expected to include routine physicals, preventive care, sick visits, chronic condition management, women’s health support, functional medicine consultations, IV infusions, and select wellness services.

Functional medicine looks at the broader factors that may contribute to a person’s health rather than focusing solely on an individual symptom.

Depending on your concerns, this may include evaluating factors such as nutrition, sleep, stress, lifestyle, health history, and other influences to help develop an individualized care plan.

No.

Anyone can sign up for wellness services, including IV hydration, vitamin injections, functional medicine visits, and perimenopause/menopause visits. Being a primary care patient earns you 10% off of these services.
