Healthcare the way
it was meant to be.

DPC is a relatively new way to deliver high-quality, comprehensive healthcare from your doctor or nurse practitioner for a low, flat monthly fee.

DPC clinicians have chosen to break away from the current expensive, inefficient, complicated fee-for-service healthcare system to provide medical care at a reasonable, transparent price. We work for you — the patient — and leave out the middlemen (i.e. insurance companies and corporate employers).

Practically speaking, DPC is a membership model for healthcare. Every patient pays a flat monthly membership fee as a member of the practice. Memberships are also payable annually at a 5% discount.

First and foremost is direct access to your doctor or nurse practitioner. You can expect same-day or next business day appointments, along with a phone number and email address to contact us directly. Text messaging and telehealth visits are encouraged — and you won't be charged extra for these services.

Many issues can be handled over the phone, via telehealth, text, or email, saving you valuable time without having to come into the office. For issues that do require an in-person visit, you can expect to spend as much time as necessary to address what's at hand.

This differs significantly from a fee-for-service model, where clinicians need to see 18–20+ patients per day, leading to brief, rushed 15–20 minute appointments — rarely enough time to manage most medical problems effectively.

You won't pay a copay for any visit. You'll also be able to avoid many visits altogether by reaching us directly via text or email. We've negotiated discounted rates for prescription medications, blood tests, X-rays, and other imaging on your behalf.

Most DPC patients pair their membership with a high-deductible, low-premium insurance plan — covering major health events while leaving routine care to us. This can significantly reduce your monthly insurance premiums.

Another major savings opportunity: avoiding expensive ER and urgent care visits. It's estimated that 2/3 of all ER visits are non-emergent. In Arizona, the average ER bill is nearly $2,300. With almost 10 years of ER experience, Dr. Wesley is well-positioned to advise you on what truly requires emergency care — and what doesn't. Save one ER visit over 2½ years and your membership has paid for itself.

They share some similarities, but there are important differences. Concierge practices often bill your insurance in addition to charging a monthly fee — meaning they're still part of the insurance industry's complex reimbursement system. This is reflected in the price: the average concierge practice charges $200–$300 per month.

DPC memberships are a fraction of that cost because we don't spend resources fighting with insurance companies to get paid. We work directly for you.

You can cancel your membership at any time with a 30-day written notice. If you decide to rejoin the practice at a later date, written approval is required along with a $225 re-enrollment fee.

Medicare patients are welcome to join our practice. However, Helios Health AZ has opted out of Medicare. This means that neither the physician nor the patient can bill Medicare or seek Medicare reimbursement for services provided through our practice.

Medicare patients can still use their benefits for other healthcare needs, such as labs, imaging, and specialist visits.

At this time we do not offer immunizations. Maintaining a vaccine inventory requires significant resources, but immunizations are readily available at local health departments and pharmacies.

We care for a wide range of issues — from common acute problems like colds, flu, strep throat, and minor injuries, to chronic conditions such as diabetes, high blood pressure, and obesity.

We also offer hormone therapy using oral, topical, and pellet delivery options.
