WELCOME!

​

Dr. Jennifer Fontius opened her solo practice in February 2011. She provides a wide scope of services including adult and pediatric care, routine gynecology, and minor surgeries.

 

The practice is a Direct Primary Care (DPC) model, which is an affordable membership-based practice that provides routine health care for a flat monthly fee. This allows her to offer more personalized service and to focus on patient care rather than administrative processes and insurance dictates. It provides greater accessibility and flexibility, as it is more accommodating for individual patient needs. 

 

Services include:

​

  • Treatment of children, adolescents & adults

  • Routine care

  • Pap smears, routine gynecology

  • Annual physicals/preventative visits

  • Sports physicals

  • Minor surgeries

  • Cryotherapy (freezing) for warts, skin lesions

  • EKGs

  • Same day appointment for urgent visits

  • Televisits (video) for convenience 

DIRECT PRIMARY CARE

Direct Primary Care is a model that allows primary care physicians to offer their services directly to their patients—without an insurance company in the middle—in exchange for a monthly or annual fee. The membership fee allows the patient to access a variety of primary care services, including consultations, exams, telemedicine, and care coordination, and it is much more affordable than traditional concierge practices. 

​

Patients get to pay one monthly fee and have all of their primary care covered, without having to worry about deductibles or separate co-pays for each service.

​

And because doctors don't need to worry about whether a patient's insurer will cover telehealth services, direct primary care memberships allow patients to access care via phone calls, email, and  video chats, all of which can be more efficient and convenient than in-person consultations.

​

Membership fees are age-tiered:

Age < 17yr $50/month

Age 18-39  $80/month

Age 40-64  $100/month

Age 65+ $120/month

*There is a 10% discount for annual payments

​

Please see our Direct Primary Care Agreement for more details.

Also note that the agreement is based on an annual membership; in the event you need to cancel your membership, there is a 30 day cancellation notice requirement.
