Providing medical care to the whole family ages 2 and up in Lakeland and the greater Polk county area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n What is included in our DIRECT PRIMARY CARE (DPC) membership?<\/p>\n\n\n\n LakelandMD operates on a Direct Primary Care (DPC) model where we can offer our services directly to our members\u2014without an insurance company in the middle\u2014in exchange for an affordable monthly fee. The membership fee allows our patients to access a variety of primary care, including consultations, exams, care coordination, and some lab services, without paying any additional fees. Other items such as lab work, medications, and X-ray imaging are provided at cost to the member, which significantly lowers their medical expenses. Because we don’t have to deal with health insurance paperwork or bureaucracy, we spend less time and money on administrative tasks. And members get to pay one monthly fee and have all of their primary care covered, without having to worry about deductibles or separate copays.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We are not Insurance. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Maintain insurance coverage for unexpected health events.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Interested in finding out more?<\/p>\n\n\n\n Contact us if you have any questions, or if you are ready to apply for membership – click on the link below.
