Patient + Physician – Insurance = Better Health Care

East Texas Health & Wellness is based on a vision to provide quality and convenient health care at an affordable cost.

Direct Primary Care (DPC) is a membership model that replaces the complex and costly billing system of our current insurance based health care. This allows the focus to shift from billing and finances to personalized health care with no hidden fees, all for an affordable monthly membership.

DPC is not health insurance, it is health care. We do not bill insurance, Medicare or Medicaid. It does not cover catastrophic events like hospitalization, surgery, etc.. Patients are recommended to obtain at least a high deductible insurance plan or healthcare sharing plan for emergencies. DPC is a unique concept when compared to the standard traditional primary care model.
