In order to lower my practice overhead expenses so I am able to spend more time with my patients, I have chosen the direct-pay model for my practice.  Because of this, I do not file claims with or accept payments from any health insurance company, including Medicare and Medicaid.   This allows me the freedom to spend my time taking care of patients, rather than taking care of insurance companies.

This type of practice model is ideal for patients with high-deductible health insurance plans and for those with no health insurance coverage.  It is also ideal for those patients with insurance or Medicare who are willing to pay out of pocket to see a doctor who's easily accessible and able to give them more personal attention.  (Note that some insurance plans will reimburse you for seeing an out-of-network provider, and upon request I can give you the information needed to complete the form for reimbursement from your insurance company - this does not apply to Medicare.)
