There are many ways to be apart of Thrive Direct Health Care's innovative method of health care delivery. Maybe you have a high deductible insurance plan or have maybe you have no insurance or maybe you own your own business and want to offer affordable medical services as a benefit. What you already know ... ? You want to have a different experience that is focused on you as an individual not as a symptom or disease.

​Whatever path you choose—it’s the right path for you. You can come as a scheduled or true walk-in for acute needs or quick visits (no membership required). You can also join an affordable membership plan providing more access to your provider.

​If you are looking to really make a difference in your health outcomes or have a meaningful relationship with your provider - membership may be the way to go.

Membership Options

Below are two options for membership and the difference between these two models to help you decide which path you want to take.

Direct Primary Care (DPC) is geared towards convenient access, after hour urgent needs and relationship based care for primary care and acute care needs. 

​Functional medicine gets deep into the roots of symptoms and attempts to find the cause in order to find resolution….this is NOT primary care. This is an intense personalized approach to medicine on complicated topics.

​INSURANCE IS NOT ACCEPTED
The Direct Patient Care health care model is an innovative model to reduce consumer costs of primary health care and allow for more quality time with your provider. In working with specialists and imaging/laboratory providers in the community, we have a vast list of referral options at a fraction of the cost typically charged by insurance companies making health care more affordable. You always have the option of working with your insurance company personally for reimbursement or using them for labs and covered prescriptions. Need an affordable alternative? Look at Zion Health.

EXCEPTION: We do accept Medicare Part B Washington only who are NOT eligible for membership.
No billing for Medicare Advantage/HMO or other Medicare Part B for other States so cash rates apply and these patients are eligible for membership.

Please see the Home page and FAQs page for more information on this model.

Please Note:
We are not health insurance provider. Any healthcare services you receive elsewhere, are subject to the costs of the service provider, insurance co-pays or co-insurance. It is recommended to have a high deductible plan with low premium aka catastrophic insurance. ​

Process: How to become a patient

By now I’m sure you’ve received the run around from the traditional model. 10 minute appointments, long wait times, can never get in when you really need to be seen and have to end up using urgent care, . . . Or have no insurance so there is fear in the cost of getting health care . . . Or you own or work at a small business without health benefits.

Thrive Direct Health Care may just be what you need and we have many options to help you meet your health care needs and goals. ​

Dr Brianna is full for primary care patients (without membership) and only has limited availability for the Functional Medicine Package plan or those starting a membership.
Providers Liz is open for new patients and members and functional medicine patients.
