GREAT! We encourage all of our patients to carry some form of insurance that will cover services that are not included in your membership to include the “big ticket items” like an ER visit, hospital stay or surgery to name a few. Your insurance will continue to pay for services like imaging, labs, medications, specialists visits or expensive outpatient testing.

That’s ok! We do encourage patients to carry some form of health insurance to cover you for services that are not included in your membership but that doesn’t mean you have to. We have found that the most affordable way to cover yourself for the “big ticket items” (surgeries, ER visits, specialists visits, etc) is choosing a high deductible, low monthly premium plan or a catastrophic health care plan that would cover you for any expensive unforeseen circumstances. For patients who do not carry an insurance plan we can help with wholesale pricing for labs and discounted pricing on imaging if needed. Integrity Medical will also help you get medications at an affordable price. Integrity Medical can help you navigate these topics.

At this time we do not see children. We serve patients aged 16 and older. We can help you find a pediatrician for the little ones.

Yes. You will be required to pay the monthly membership fee based off of which membership you choose. The monthly membership allows for you to be able to access the services provided in your membership at any time including same day or next day appointments either in office or telehealth along with direct access to your provider, to name a few.

That’s great you want to come back! Integrity Medical would love to have you back at the discretion of the provider and if we have any spots left. If you would like to re-enroll you will be required to pay the $125 enrollment fee again. If there are no patient spots available at that time you will be placed on the waiting list. 

A Physician Assistant or otherwise known as PAs are medical professionals who diagnose illnesses, develop and manage treatment plans, prescribe medications, and often serve as a patient’s principal healthcare provider. PAs work under the supervision of a physician. With thousands of hours of medical training, PAs are versatile and collaborative. PAs practice in every state and in every medical setting and specialty, improving healthcare access and quality. PAs are educated at the master’s degree level. There are more than 250 PA programs in the country and admission is highly competitive, requiring a bachelor’s degree and completion of courses in basic and behavioral sciences as prerequisites. PA programs are approximately 27 months (three academic years), and include classroom instruction and more than 2,000 hours of clinical rotations. PAs are trusted healthcare providers. A 2014 Harris Poll found extremely high satisfaction rates among Americans who have seen a PA or have a family member who has seen a PA. The survey found that 93 percent regard PAs as trusted healthcare providers and 91 percent believe that PAs improve the quality of healthcare.

A PA’s medical education and training are rigorous. The PA school curriculum is modeled on the medical school curriculum that involves both didactic and clinical education training. In the didactic phase, students take courses in basic medical sciences, behavioral sciences, and behavioral ethics. In the clinical phase, students complete more than 2,000 hours of clinical rotations in medical and surgical disciplines, including family medicine, internal medicine, obstetrics and gynecology, pediatrics, general surgery, emergency medicine, and psychiatry.

PA education and practice emphasize on patient education, preventive care, and chronic care management. PAs generalist medical training enables them to provide a wide spectrum of patient care and treat the “whole patient.” For example, during an appointment with a PA working in cardiology, in addition to discussing the patient’s heart issues, a PA might notice a skin condition and either treat it or refer that patient to a dermatology practice. PAs make it easier for patients to get the care they need when they need it.

At the practice level, there are likely more similarities than differences between PAs and NPs. However there are 2 distinct differences. PAs are educated in general medicine, which offers a comprehensive view of all aspects of medicine. NPs must choose a “population focus,” such as a family medicine nurse practitioner, pediatric nurse practitioner or women’s health nurse practitioner just to name a few. PAs are trained to practice medicine using a curriculum modeled on medical school education. NPs are trained in the advanced practice of nursing.

No, unless requested by Dakotah. Dakotah’s supervising physician signs off on 20% of her medical charts along with being onsite once a month. Dakotah is the only provider at Integrity Medical seeing patients. Dakotah has a very close working relationship with her supervising physician and he is always available for consultation or for questions when she needs him.

No, there are no office co-pays. Think of this membership just like a gym membership or a cellphone bill. You pay once monthly in exchange for services provided in the membership. Whether you use zero or 10 of the services offered that month you will still be required to pay the monthly fee.
