DPC CASE STUDY: From Arrow Primary Care
Attention business owners...A patient just called me directly from work with a painful rash near her waistline. I took a history over the phone. The patient texted me a picture of the rash.

Diagnosis: Shingles

Treatment: Acyclovir ($7.75 from my office vs $44 at her local pharmacy). Other instructions given over the phone.

Patient doesn't miss any work and saved money. Win-Win.

NOTE: Employers can subscribe to a local physician and add it as a benefit for employees. No co-pays and no extra cost for the employer or employee to talk or text or email or see their doctor.
