We Offer a Hybrid Practice Model
The Healthy Cocoon offers two separate and distinct lines of service for patients to choose from.
Traditional Insurance Practice
Direct Care Membership
Traditional Insurance Care
First, the practice is credentialing with all insurance types previously accepted at this practice location, including Medicare and Medicaid. In the practice model, patients will interact with the practice in traditional ways. Insurance is presented if active and charges for care sent to insurance if available and patients are billed for any copays, deductibles or co-insurance. Only the portion not paid by their insurance is owed by the patient.
Direct Care Memberships
An attractive second option is the membership model. The membership is a small limited size and once full patients could request to sign up for a wait list. If a parent chooses to participate in the membership, insurance isn’t needed within this office. An affordable $77/mo per member covers all their care provided at the Healthy Cocoon without any additional billing. Efforts are made to keep cost down for typical needs outside of the office with negotiated cash prices, or patients could use their insurance for care from specialist and hospitals. Again, patients choose to either be a traditional patient in the insurance model or to join the membership, not both.
