We believe healthcare should be built around patientsโnot insurance companies.
That means healthcare should be:
โข ๐๐ซ๐๐ง๐ฌ๐ฉ๐๐ซ๐๐ง๐ญ, not confusing
โข ๐๐๐๐จ๐ซ๐๐๐๐ฅ๐, not inflated
โข ๐๐ซ๐ข๐ฏ๐๐ญ๐, not over-shared
And federal law supports this approach.
Under the HITECH Act, patients have the right to request that their healthcare information not be shared with their insurance company when they choose to pay cash (self-pay) in full. Even if you are insured, you can decide to keep a visit, lab, or service private by paying directly out-of-pocket.

Self-pay keeps your medical information more private. When insurance is billed, your health information is shared with multiple third parties. Self-pay care allows patients to limit that data sharing and keep sensitive medical information between themselves and their doctor.

Insurance billing often inflates costs and adds complexity. Over time, self-pay care can be more affordable by eliminating inflated pricing, surprise bills, and unnecessary administrative fees. Our pricing is clear, upfront, and far less expensive than traditional insurance-based careโespecially for labs, visits, and chronic care management.

At Lupine Family Medicine, we work directly for our patientsโnot insurance corporations. That means care decisions are based on whatโs best for you, with pricing thatโs clear and privacy thatโs respected.
Itโs your health. Your data. Your choice.
