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.

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 care—especially for labs, visits, and chronic care management.

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.
