The sooner that cancer is detected, the higher the chances of successful treatment, which can mean higher survival rates. Yet, too often cancer goes undetected and is only discovered in its late stages when treatment options are limited. Most cancers do not have recommended screening methods.

We are proud to now offer the Galleri™ Multi-Cancer Early Detection Test in addition to your routine screening tests.This simple blood test is recommended for use in adults with an elevated risk of cancer, such as those aged 50 or older. The Galleri test predicts the cancer signal origin with high accuracy, which in turn can inform next steps to diagnosis.

Key features of the Galleri Multi-Cancer Early Detection Test include:

• Can identify more than 50 types of cancer through a simple blood draw
• Has a very low false-positive rate of just 0.5%
• Predicts cancer signal of origin to help direct next steps in diagnostic work-up

I am thrilled to be now offering the Galleri test to you in addition to guideline-recommended cancer screening to help improve the chances of early cancer detection. The test is not currently yet covered by insurance or membership. You will receive a separate bill of $949 should you decide that you're wanting to be tested.

If you have cancer concerns and want to discuss the Galleri test, please let me know.We can arrange a brief office visit or call. For important safety information, visit www.galleri.com.

For better health,

Mental Health is such a vital part of holistic medical management and in times such as these access to a counselor is beneficial. The average patient may need to contact up to 6 counselors before finding one that is in network, has openings and meets their needs....the likelihood of finding all at once is rare. 
​
Thrive Direct Health Care has partnered with Skagit Counseling Center in Mount Vernon, WA to provide affordable mental health counseling services to youth, teens and adults. The greatest savings is with a Thrive Direct membership but a referral will also provide some savings. A superbill can also be provided-upon request-for patients to self-submit a claim for reimbursement from their insurance carrier. 

It seems costs for medical needs increase daily. Americans spend more money on healthcare than any other country in the world, and yet, we are still struggling.

As a Direct Primary Care provider, I’ve seen firsthand the struggle patients go through to get the care they need. Insurance companies are often unaware of the benefits of alternative therapies, and thus unlikely to participate in them. Even when those therapies cost less and are more effective than conventional ones. Coverage varies from company to company and plan to plan, resulting in a confusing, tangled network of care. And should your personal convictions not mesh well with standard Western Medicine, you’ll often find yourself out of luck and frustrated by the lack of options and support.

This is why I don’t work with insurance companies. And this is why I offer memberships for care through my clinic, Thrive Direct Health Care.

But what about the times when you need care outside of what a DPC Membership offers? A surgery, coverage for the birth of a child, physical therapy, or a hospitalization for illness?

This is where a health share can fill the gap, and I am proud to partner with Zion Health to offer reduced membership rates through Thrive Direct Healthcare.

Zion Health is NOT insurance. It is a non-profit, membership based method for sharing medical costs. Memberships start at just $189/month for individuals, and $159/month when subscribed in conjunction with your DPC Membership.  

Memberships for families, no matter the size, start at $641/month, and $427/month when subscribed to in conjunction with your DPC Membership.
 
 
Benefits of Zion Health Include:

• No Annual or Lifetime Limit to Medical Expenses.
• Needs are processed within 3-5 business days.
• Worldwide access to care.
• The ability to work with ANY provider, hospital, or facility, without network restrictions.

• Coverage for alternative therapies.
• Medical cost sharing for unexpected major medical expenses.
• No denial for enrollment based on a pre-existing condition.
• A great benefit for Small Businesses to offer to employees, when paired with a membership to Thrive.

 
When insurance coverage has become unrealistic for so many individuals and families, alternatives like Zion Health offer a practical, affordable solution.
