Our Story
MAITRI WELLNESS·WEDNESDAY, APRIL 8, 2020·
Maitri Wellness was established in July 2016, and was born out of the desire of Dr. Kaul to offer her patients an alternative model to traditional, insurance-based physician care. Prior to opening Maitri Wellness, Dr. Kaul had worked as a physician who took insurance and she witnessed firsthand how these doctors were limited by what the insurance

company chose to pay them. Insurance companies don’t pay for phone calls and they often don’t pay for more than a 15-minute visit (including vitals and check-in by office staff). There were instances where they didn’t pay for visits at all. Furthermore, according to a study reported in Insurance Business magazine, doctors spend anywhere from 50-67 percent of their time doing insurance-based paperwork, instead of taking care of their patients! Dr. Kaul, and many of her physician colleagues, were struggling with burnout, and feeling like they did not have enough time to spend with their patients. When third parties were involved in collecting money, whether that was insurance companies, hospitals or owners of medical facilities who were in sales, not medicine, quality care suffered. That’s why she decided to leave the insurance-based system and move to the Direct Primary Care model. The hallmark of her DPC model is the focus on the doctor-patient relationship. The doctor doesn’t take insurance and the patient pays a monthly access fee to ensure that they can reach her, or see her when needed. By not taking insurance, overhead is lowered and she can spend more time with each patient. Unlike the insurance model where doctors usually will have to see 1500-300 patients a year, in the DPC most doctors will see up to 600 patients annually. Dr. Kaul chose to limit her patient base to only 150 people. This allows her (1) spend more time with her patients, (2) to coordinate their care with specialists, (3) to contact them back to answer questions via text or phone, and (4) to not keep them waiting in the waiting room. Today, Dr. Kaul’s practice thrives on a commitment of mutual respect between patient and doctor. They trust her medical expertise and she trusts that they will put in just as much effort into their health and well-being along the way.

DPC + HDHP = Complete Coverage Strategy

Your HDHP handles the "what-ifs" - the big, unexpected medical events like major accidents, surgeries, cancer treatment, or heart attacks. It's your financial safety net for catastrophic health expenses that could bankrupt you.

Your DPC membership handles the "everyday" - routine physicals, sick visits, chronic disease management, preventive care, and minor procedures. It's your proactive health maintenance plan.

Think of it as layered protection:

HDHP = Your home insurance (protects against major disasters)
DPC = Your home maintenance plan (prevents small problems from becoming big ones)

The strategic advantage: Most people with HDHPs avoid seeing doctors for routine issues because they don't want to pay toward their deductible. This often leads to small problems becoming expensive emergencies that DO hit your deductible.

With DPC, you get unlimited primary care access, so you actually USE preventive healthcare. Your doctor can catch issues early, manage chronic conditions properly, and keep you out of expensive urgent care centers and ERs.

Financial positioning: You're already saving money on premiums with your HDHP. Instead of gambling that you'll stay healthy, consider investing those premium savings into a DPC membership. You'll get better access to care while still maintaining catastrophic protection.

The result: Lower overall healthcare costs, better health outcomes, and peace of mind knowing you're covered for both routine care and major medical events.

Dr. Kaul Answers...

Do you cut corners to keep your membership prices low?

🚫 Never!

In fact, we cut out the red tape—not the quality of service.

✅ Longer office visits

✅ No rushed appointments

That's not cutting corners. That's doing medicine the way it was meant to be done. 😀
