🩸 Sickle Cell Disease deserves more than crisis care. It deserves continuous care.

For too many people living with Sickle Cell Disease, healthcare becomes a cycle of pain crisis → ER → hospital → discharge → repeat.
But your health exists between the crises, too.

At Prosper Direct Primary Care, we believe primary care can be an important part of the healthcare team for adults living with Sickle Cell Disease.
💚 Routine and preventive primary care 💚 Blood pressure, diabetes & cardiovascular risk management
💚 Medication reconciliation and health monitoring
💚 Nutrition and lifestyle support
💚 Coordination with hematology and specialists
💚 Longer appointments with time to discuss your concerns
💚 A physician who gets to know YOU—not just your diagnosis

Sickle Cell Disease is complex, and DPC does not replace your hematologist or emergency care during a serious pain crisis. Instead, we can help provide the consistent primary care that supports your health throughout the year.
You are more than your hemoglobin.
You deserve healthcare focused on helping you live, thrive, and PROSPER. 🌿

Behind every "Your medication isn't covered" message is a process most patients never see.

A prior authorization doesn't start with your doctor's office deciding to delay your medication. In many cases, your prescription is rejected by your insurance company, and a prior authorization request is then sent to the medical office for completion.

From there, your healthcare team must:
📠 Receive the request from the insurer
📋 Review your medical record
📝 Complete insurer-specific paperwork
📄 Gather supporting documentation and clinical notes
📠 Submit everything back to the insurance company
⏳ Wait for the insurance company's decision
📞 Notify you of the outcome

Every insurance company has different requirements, and a single missing piece of information can restart the process.

The next time you hear, "We're waiting on a prior authorization," remember that your healthcare team is often advocating behind the scenes while navigating an administrative process created by insurers—not by your physician.

At Prosper DPC, we believe your doctor should spend more time caring for patients and less time completing paperwork.

If we do not take care of pregnant mothers and children, we do not have a future society; everything falls apart if mothers and children perish.

New bipartisan legislation could help expand access to innovative testing for patients at risk of developing preeclampsia. The Preeclampsia Risk Evaluation and Evidence-based Management through Personalized Testing Act, or PREEMPT Act, would provide state Medicaid programs with important guidance on using blood-based biomarker tests throughout pregnancy.

These tests can help healthcare providers identify patients at elevated risk earlier and make more informed decisions about monitoring, treatment, and care. With hypertensive disorders of pregnancy remaining a leading cause of maternal illness and death, improving access to timely and effective testing is an important step toward protecting pregnant patients and their babies.

We need your support to help advance this legislation and ensure more families can benefit from innovative tools that may improve preeclampsia detection and management.

Contact your U.S. Representative and urge them to cosponsor the PREEMPT Act to accelerate access to tools and technologies that improve the care of pregnant women and reduce maternal morbidity and mortality. Use our tool to contact your Representative: https://powerslaw.quorum.us/campaign/163936/

Please act now and share this with your networks!

"Do you take insurance?"

Without a doubt, this is the question I get asked more than any other.

My answer is always the same:

No. And that's intentional.

I didn't choose Direct Primary Care because I don't care about patients. I chose it because I care about them more.

Insurance companies decide how much physicians are paid, how much time we can spend with patients, what treatments require prior authorization, and often add hours of paperwork that have nothing to do with actually caring for people.

By stepping away from insurance, I'm able to focus on what matters most:
✔️ Longer visits
✔️ Same- or next-day appointments
✔️ Direct access to your physician
✔️ Transparent pricing
✔️ No surprise bills
✔️ Care that's based on your needs—not what an insurance company approves

The reality is that the traditional insurance model is becoming increasingly difficult for independent practices to sustain. Low reimbursement rates, administrative burdens, delayed payments, and constant insurance hurdles contribute to physician burnout and take valuable time away from patient care.

At Prosper Direct Primary Care, my mission is simple: to restore the doctor-patient relationship.

So no, I don't accept insurance—and that's exactly what allows me to provide the kind of personalized, accessible, and relationship-centered care my patients deserve.

If you've ever wondered how Direct Primary Care works, I'd love to answer your questions in the comments.

💚 Better access. More time. Healthcare the way it should be.
