Affordable, Personal Care Without the Insurance Chaos

Health insurance costs are climbing, and families everywhere are looking for real value — care that’s affordable, accessible, and personal.

This morning, one of our patients messaged overnight with flank pain. By 9 a.m., she had been examined, sent to Hitchcock Direct Imaging for a CT scan, diagnosed, and had her prescription filled at Hitchcock Family Pharmacy. All of that happened in one morning, with no insurance paperwork and no surprise bills.

The best part is that both Hitchcock Direct Imaging and Hitchcock Family Pharmacy are open to everyone in the community. You do not have to be a member of Hitchcock Family Medicine to use them.

We believe healthcare should be simple, transparent, and built around you, not your insurance company.

Healthcare, Simplified. Personal. Transparent. Empowering.

Fewer patients = more time, faster care, and a relationship that feels like it actually matters.

The Chattanooga Times Free Press reports that more than 33,000 people in Hamilton County will see premiums rise by almost 40%. For many families that is just not affordable.

This week alone we have already had several people reach out saying they can no longer keep up with their insurance and want to know how our clinic, pharmacy, and imaging center work outside of that system.

Our mission has always been to keep care simple, personal, and transparent. If you or someone you know is feeling the pressure from rising insurance costs, there are other options.

👉 What do you think about these rate hikes? How are they affecting you or your family?

Starting Saturday, more than half a million Tennesseans and some 33,000 Hamilton County residents will visit healthcare.gov to purchase 2026 health care coverage through the Affordable Care Act Marketplace and be hit with a "double whammy" cost increase.

Today Dr. Ewing apologized to a patient for “making her wait.”
Here is the funny part… she had only been in the waiting room for two minutes, and it was still one minute before her actual appointment time.

That kind of moment says a lot about how we do things here. At most doctor’s offices, waiting 30, 45, or even 60 minutes past your scheduled time feels normal. In our practice, waiting at all feels unusual.

We keep our patient panels smaller and our schedules open enough so that you are seen on time, in an unhurried visit, without crowded waiting rooms.

⏱️ Your time matters.
Healthcare, simplified. Personal. Transparent. Empowering.

Happy accidents! We didn’t set out to build a pharmacy, but moments like this remind us why it matters.

Sometimes a happy accident says it all. Yesterday, one of our patients, who usually picks up his meds 45 minutes away, ended up with his prescription at our pharmacy by mistake. When he heard our price, his jaw literally dropped. He said, “Wait, it’s that much cheaper? I’ll drive over right now!”

And he did, 45 minutes just to save on his prescription, because our prices were that much more affordable than the big box store.

It’s little moments like this that remind us why we do what we do. At Hitchcock Family Pharmacy, we keep it simple, transparent, and all about you. Thanks for trusting us with your care!
