How Does KarisMed
Direct Primary Care Work?
What is Direct Primary Care?
Direct Primary Care (DPC) is an innovative primary care delivery model, where the patient is charged a flat, low monthly fee for a wide array of convenient and quality medical services.
The characteristics that best describe a DPC practice is that it offers patients the full range of comprehensive primary services. These services include preventive care, regular care, routine checkups, and specialist care coordination for a flat, low retainer fee that is usually billed to patients every month.

Number one reason for bankruptcy in the U.S. is medical bills. Two-thirds of people estimated 530,000 families each year, who file for bankruptcy cite medical issues as a key contributor to their financial downfall.

The Problems with the Current Healthcare System
- The traditional fee-for-service model focuses on the service volume, instead of the quality of care
- Increasing health care costs – premiums, deductibles, copays and prescriptions
- Less focus on preventive care with little incentives to keep people healthy
- Barriers to get the right care at the right time for optimal health outcomes
Better Healthcare Solution. Here’s Why!
We understand that navigating healthcare is not always easy; that’s why we created KarisMed. Our membership-based model promotes a transparent, affordable, and easy way of receiving high-quality medical care.
Your membership with our clinic provides you unrestricted access to our physician, making optimal health and prevention within your reach. With a limited number of patients, our team is here to support you every step of the way with unlimited and unrushed visits, no copay, same-day appointments, and comprehensive examination with lab testing.
Affordable and Transparent Healthcare
A better option to your current healthcare choices
Affordable Health
When we say, ‘Affordable Health’, we mean it. For optimized healthcare for you and your family, we believe you don’t have to break the bank and/or bruise your budget; hence the KarisMed DPC membership option.
“One of the biggest advantages of direct primary care is its ability to save you money”
We are committed to breaking the bottlenecks and hassles about securing your real wealth, HEALTH. So affordable healthcare membership like your gym’s? Why not!
Transparent Pricing
We’ve all been there at one point or the other. A mere stroll in and out of ER, a cursory ‘vacation’ to the urgent care or physician office, and boom, a heap of bills that stem from the plethora of clauses. Well, we’ve removed all of that.
“Knowing the costs upfront of medical care you receive is an important part of your health.”
In addition to our affordable DPC costs, we added the topping of Transparency. We offer transparent pricing as against the usual surprising medical bills!
No Hidden Fees!
No Co-pays.
No Deductibles.
No Hassles.
Relationship-Centered Care
We put you and your family as priorities in patient care
Same-Day Appointments
The average wait time in the U.S for a patient’s appointment to see a primary care physician is 14 days.
“You do not have to wait for several days or weeks to see a doctor.”
At KarisMed, we understand early diagnosis and treatment could improve your health outcomes significantly, and that is why we provide the same/ next day appointments for both new and current patients.
Unrushed Visits
Primary care providers are your first line of defense in the health care system. Primary care physicians spend an average of 10 – 15 minutes with a patient per visit in the traditional healthcare system. Often after a doctor visit, patients are left wondering, did I get to spend enough time with the physician to address my health challenges? Did the physician give me enough time to express my concerns thoroughly
“More time with your physician is essential in promoting a better patient-physician relationship, which is the backbone of primary care.”
That is why KarisMed physicians provide extended consultation time (30 – 60 minutes per consultation) to our patients for better health outcomes.
No Lobby Wait Time
Tired of the long wait with other patients before seeing a doctor? We provide minimal lobby wait time during doctor’s visits
“Why spend so long waiting to see a doctor after you have scheduled an appointment? We know how important your time is to you.”
We prefer you spend more time with your physician than spending the usual 20 – 30 minutes at the lobby waiting to see a doctor.
All Pass Access
Our team focuses on providing unrestricted care to patients who value a true relationship with their doctor.
“Do you have your current physician’s cell number? Well, our patients do!”
Our patients and their families also have direct access to their doctors 24/7 via office visit, telephone, text or e-mail at any time without restriction.
Improved Health Outcomes
The health care landscape is constantly changing, except for the need for high-quality patient care. Just moving patients through a “sickly” assembly line is not the best way to provide better health outcomes. Delivering improved health outcomes for our patients is our priority daily.
“It is not just about quality. It’s about being healthy, healthy enough to live a happier life.”
92 percent of our patients feel their health has improved as a result of the quality of services they receive from KarisMed.

Ongoing Care
On-Demand Healthcare? Think KarisMed
Think of KarisMed DPC as an on-demand TV subscription replacing traditional home movie rental services but for your medical care needs!
“Your KarisMed membership covers about 80% of most of your medical needs.”
For example, your auto or home insurance only cover catastrophic events such as car accidents or fire damages, and not regular oil change, lawn mowing, or make minor repairs. Then, why use your health insurance for routine medical services such as primary care at a higher cost?
“KarisMed Plans are suitable for both patients with health insurance or no health insurance.”
Patients who have health insurance – unusually high deductibles – can use their insurance to cover catastrophic medical needs beyond our clinics, such as hospital and specialists’ visits, whenever they may occur.
With KarisMed, you get high-quality primary and preventive medical care for a flat, low monthly fee.
