Here’s what we do:

We pay our doctor 2000.00 yearly out of our pockets and for that we receive yearly physicals, minor surgical procedures(sutures, removal skin lesions,etc.), EKGs, some lab tests(those that don’t have to be sent out),osteopathic care. There is a 20.00 copay for office visits after the physical.
The physical is one hour long and very in-depth. Appointments are typically obtained within two days of us calling for anything else.

We combine this with a medical sharing ministry for catastrophic re-imbursement. This costs 405.00 monthly. so total cost with the DC practice plan is about 600.00 monthly.
Our cost for an obamacare silver plan with a huge deductible would be approximately 1500.00-2000.00 monthly.

So far it is working wonderfully for us. I understand it’s not for everyone, but it really can be cost-effective.

I’m sorry to hear doctors talk about leaving medicine when they work so hard and sacrifice so much to get there. They need to think about alternatives before just throwing it all away.
