Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What exactly is Direct Primary Care (DPC)?
Q: Do I still need health insurance?
A: DPC is NOT insurance and doesn’t replace the need for coverage for emergencies, hospitalizations, or specialist care. We recommend pairing your DPC membership with a low-cost high-deductible health plan for catastrophic coverage. This combination often costs less than traditional insurance while giving you better primary care access.
Q: What's included in my monthly membership?
A: Your membership includes unlimited office visits, same/next-day appointments, 24/7 direct access to Dr. Tess by text/call/email, annual wellness exams, sick visits, chronic disease management, women’s health services, mental health evaluation and medication management, and wholesale pricing on labs and medications.
Q: Can I use my HSA/FSA for DPC membership?
A: Yes! DPC memberships are typically HSA/FSA eligible. Check with your specific plan administrator, but most patients can use pre-tax dollars for their monthly membership.
Q: How quickly can I get an appointment?
A: We offer same-day or next-day appointments for most concerns. Because we limit our patient panel size, Dr. Tess has time to see patients when they actually need care—not weeks later when problems have gotten worse.
Q: Is Dr. Garcia accepting new patients?
A: Yes! We’re currently accepting new DPC members. Your first visit ($200) includes your initial month’s membership plus a comprehensive 60-90 minute assessment where Dr. Tess gets to know you, reviews your complete medical history, and creates your personalized care plan.
Q: Do you accept insurance for any services?
A: No, Garcia Family Medicine does not accept insurance for any services. Insurance companies will not reimburse you for the monthly membership fee, as they typically only pay for specific procedures performed by medical providers. However, you can use your Health Savings Account (HSA) or Flexible Spending Account (FSA) to pay for your membership and services.
Q: What if I need specialty care or hospitalization?
A: Dr. Tess will coordinate referrals to trusted specialists when needed and help you navigate the healthcare system. This is where having a high-deductible health plan for catastrophic coverage is important—DPC handles your primary care, while insurance covers major medical events.
Q: Can I cancel my membership anytime?
A: Yes, you can cancel your membership at any time. Garcia Family Medicine requires 30 days notice to process your cancellation.
Q: Do you prescribe controlled substances for pain management?
A: Garcia Family Medicine focuses on opioid-free pain management using a multi-modal approach. Dr. Tess does not prescribe opioid medications, but offers comprehensive alternatives including prescription non-opioid pain medications, interventional therapies, and holistic strategies.
Q: What about labs and imaging?
A: We have partnerships with local labs and imaging centers that allow us to offer wholesale pricing—often significantly cheaper than what you’d pay through insurance. Dr. Tess orders only the tests you actually need, not what insurance companies incentivize.
Q: Is the medical weight management program right for me?
A: If you’re committed to a long-term program designed to teach you sustainable lifestyle changes so you don’t regain your weight, this is the program for you. During your first consultation, Dr. Tess will perform a comprehensive medical evaluation and order labs to establish your baseline health and identify any existing comorbidities related to being overweight. This thorough assessment ensures the program is tailored to your specific health needs and goals.
Q: How does CoreLift (EMSELLA) work for incontinence?
A: CoreLift uses FDA-cleared EMSELLA technology that delivers thousands of pelvic floor muscle contractions during each 28-minute session while you sit fully clothed. The typical protocol is 6 sessions over 3 weeks, with 95% of patients reporting significant improvement in bladder control and quality of life.
Q: Do you offer telemedicine/virtual visits?
A: Telemedicine visits are available when you’re unable to keep an in-person appointment. However, Dr. Tess does not conduct telemedicine visits on a regular basis, as she believes face-to-face interaction is essential for developing a strong doctor-patient relationship.
Q: Where are you located?
A: We’re conveniently located in Blue Springs, MO at 801 NW Saint Mary’s Drive, Suite 209, easily accessible from I-70 and major routes through the Kansas City metro area.
