Our Practice
Eventide Health is a Direct Primary Care membership model. Tomorrow’s healthcare, today.
Traditional Care Models - broken and unsustainable
In Fee-for-Service Care models your insurance or Medicare/Medicaid is billed for visits. This model was phased out as our Direct Primary Care model replaced it on March 31, 2022. The older fee for service model of medical practice is simply broken because it dictates large patient panels with rushed visits. Insurance prices are going up and Medicare is increasingly difficult for both patients and providers. There needed to be meaningful change. Direct Primary Care is the answer. Here’s what the American Academy of Family Physicians has to say about Direct Primary Care: AAFP: Direct Primary Care
The Washington State Legislature recognizes Direct Primary Care as “an innovative, affordable option which could improve access to medical care, reduce the number of people who now lack such access, and cut down on emergency room use for primary care purposes.”


Direct Primary Care Model
Direct Primary Care is increasingly recognized as the gold standard for primary care. It is heathcare the way it’s meant to be - a relationship between you and your physician, PA or NP with no middle man of insurance or governmental institution dictating how we interact.
*Direct Primary Care (DPC) IS NOT insurance. We recommend that you continue to have insurance for hospital care, expensive testing done outside our office, and referrals to specialists.
