Yes, the Healthy Cocoon Practice is credentialed with many different regional plans for both Medicare and Medicaid. We always recommend you check with both our office and your insurance prior to a new patient appointment.

Direct primary care is a growing trend of truly affordable personalized care at $77 per month for each member. By cutting out the middle man and not billing insurance, costs are brought down and more focus is on the patient.

The membership pays for all your visits in the Healthy Cocoon. This includes all office visits, blood draws, injections, virtual home visits, emails, texts and phone calls. The membership covers office based tests and procedures as well.

No, not if we do the procedure or test in house. The idea is, if it is in our control, it is covered. 

Point if care tests with immediate results, such as urine analysis, urine pregnancy tests, rapid strep tests, rapid flu testing, etc. Phlebotomy for send out labs is covered as well. There may be a discount on outsourced laboratory pricing offered as well.

Most membership practice models work hard to form relationships with labs and imaging centers to provide very competitive cash prices and The Healthy Cocoon will be working very hard to provide that benefit to its members.

Same day appointments when Dr Lira is in the office will be available when appropriate.

Members will have a cellular number to text or call Dr. Lira directly with questions or concerns. Patients of the practice will call the office phone number during business hours and can contact the call service after closing for truly urgent concerns.
