One of our main priorities at Lupine Family Medicine is making sure our patients feel comfortable and have access to good care. That’s why we’re excited to offer a new option for cervical cancer screening: the HPV self-collection test.

📖 Learn more about how HPV self-collection works:
https://www.nccc-online.org/what-you-need-to-know-about-the-hpv-self-collection-test/

Why this matters:
• HPV (human papillomavirus) causes nearly all cervical cancers
• Self-collection can be more comfortable and less stressful
• It helps remove barriers that may keep patients from getting screened
• It’s a reliable, evidence-based screening option

If you’ve felt anxious about pelvic exams, experienced discomfort in the past, or prefer a more private screening option, this may be a great choice for you.

If you meet the criteria for this testing, you can collect your own sample without the need for an invasive speculum exam. However, Dr. Hendrick will review your cervical cancer screening history to determine eligibility.

Exciting Update in Our Parking Lot ⚡️

We’re excited to share that electric vehicle charging stations are being installed by Catholic Charities in our parking lot and although it makes the parking lot very crowded, this will really help our community reduce its dependence on gasoline.

We want our patients to know that:
▪︎ Construction is expected to continue through May.
▪︎ Patient parking is still available and clearly marked for your convenience.

We sincerely appreciate your patience during this time and are doing our best to make sure your visit remains smooth and stress-free.

We want to acknowledge that this is a really hard time for many people around the world. Our hearts are with those experiencing hardship, uncertainty, and loss.

While we continue to show up here and share updates from Lupine, that doesn’t mean we are unaware or unaffected. We are thinking of those who are struggling.

At the same time, we do think it’s important to hold space for small moments of joy and connection within our own community.

This month’s Lupine Lottery winner is a patient who has been working toward controlling his diabetes and getting healthier for his wife and young daughter, and we’re grateful to be part of that journey.

He chose a $100 La Fuente Mexican restaurant gift card as his prize from us.

Millions of people take dietary supplements thinking they’ll protect them from cancer “naturally”— but science tells a very different story. "Natural" pills or supplements are still chemicals that have been processed in a factory and are NOT a shortcut to better health/cancer prevention - relying on them could even be harmful.

In short:
New research from Fred Hutch Cancer Center shows that dietary supplements have not been proven to prevent cancer, and some — like vitamin E or beta-carotene — have even been linked to increased cancer risk in well-designed studies. Some supplements can also interfere with treatment or interact with medications.

The safest way to reduce cancer risk is to do your best to have fresh air, exercise, good sleep, connection with community and healthy foods. Although these do not guarantee a cancer-free life, they have no side effects, are not made in factories and have been proven to improve quality of life and well-being.

𝐏𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐭-𝐟𝐢𝐫𝐬𝐭 𝐜𝐚𝐫𝐞, 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐢𝐧𝐬𝐮𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞-𝐟𝐢𝐫𝐬𝐭 𝐜𝐚𝐫𝐞

We believe healthcare should be built around patients—not insurance companies.
That means healthcare should be:
• 𝐓𝐫𝐚𝐧𝐬𝐩𝐚𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐭, not confusing
• 𝐀𝐟𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐝𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞, not inflated
• 𝐏𝐫𝐢𝐯𝐚𝐭𝐞, 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.

𝐖𝐡𝐲 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐬

🔒 𝐌𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐩𝐫𝐢𝐯𝐚𝐜𝐲 & 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐫𝐨𝐥
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.

💵 𝐏𝐨𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲 𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐚𝐟𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐝𝐚𝐛𝐥𝐞 𝐜𝐚𝐫𝐞
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 care—especially for labs, visits, and chronic care management.

🤝 𝐏𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐭-𝐅𝐢𝐫𝐬𝐭 𝐇𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐭𝐡𝐜𝐚𝐫𝐞
At Lupine Family Medicine, we work directly for our patients—not insurance corporations. That means care decisions are based on what’s best for you, with pricing that’s clear and privacy that’s respected.

It’s your health. Your data. Your choice.

We’re excited to announce that Lupine Family Medicine will be attending the NW Hort Expo:
• Monday & Tuesday: 8:00 AM – 5:00 PM
• Wednesday: 8:00 AM – 12:00 PM

We’re looking to partner with small businesses that want healthier, more supported employees — without the complexity of traditional healthcare.

Lupine runs on a direct primary care membership model, which means:
✔ No insurance billing
✔ No copays
✔ No rushed visits
✔ Direct access to a doctor

Right now, businesses that enroll all of their employees together qualify for a 𝐝𝐢𝐬𝐜𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐨𝐟 $𝟖𝟓 𝐩𝐞𝐫 𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐨𝐧 (regularly $95 — and increasing soon to $105).

Membership can also be paid using HSA funds.

Having direct access to a doctor helps employees stay ahead of health issues, better manage stress and chronic conditions, miss less work, and stay more productive. Over time, this can also help reduce insurance claims and ease pressure on premiums.

If you’re interested, I’d love to set up a short meet-and-greet with Dr. Hendrick to see if Lupine might be a good fit for your team.
