What does my direct care office offer?

I created a small independent practice because I believed it was the best way to care for patients. Nicole J Belanger M.D. PLLC’s LeanerLife MD is a “Direct Care” practice. The concept is that I work for you, and you directly pay for the services you use. I do not work for insurance companies, hospitals, or the government. This emerging model of medical assistance is growing across the United States.

More care. Doctors are increasingly asked to spend their time on matters unrelated to patient care. Being a direct care physician allows me to place all my focus on your individual situation and not on unnecessary paperwork and third-party checklists.

Transparency. One frustration with traditional healthcare is the ambiguity of the exact costs of your care and the inability to track down the complicated details. In Direct Care, pricing is simplified and known in advance.

Privacy. In Direct Care, your medical information remains your private record since I am not required to comply with any mandated government reporting.

Freedom. In my practice, the only people who will decide the type of care that you receive will be you and me. Therefore, your treatment will be completely customized for your preferences and individual care.

What does my direct care office not offer?

I do not bill insurance or coordinate your care with an insurance company. Although I do not submit claims to insurance, I am happy to provide you with itemized medical receipts that you can then submit to your insurance carrier. This model allows me to continue to do what I love and deliver the best care to as many people as possible.
