What is Euphora Health Direct Primary Care?
What is Direct Primary Care?
Direct Primary Care is a monthly membership service that connects you to a primary care provider who can care for you without the restrictions of an insurance-based model. By foregoing the bureaucracy of the traditional American healthcare system you and your doctor can create more effective and meaningful connections. Most importantly, by removing the costs associated with seeing a doctor such as co-pays you can access the care you need when you need it and stay on top of preventative screenings.
It’s Not Catastrophic Insurance.
Direct Primary Care is not major medical coverage and does not provide insurance for catastrophic health events. However, it does cover the majority of regular, expected healthcare needs.
What is Euphora Health?
Euphora Health is a Direct Primary Care practice because we believe that you should receive high-quality healthcare from a staff of medical professionals who know you personally and who care for your well-being. Your doctor cares for a smaller population of patients than a traditional doctor and offers services that are typically reserved for an urgent care or specialist office without marking them up. Since your doctor is accessible by text, phone, and video conference, more consistent follow-up can lead to improved health outcomes and reduce specialist and ER visits for members.
As a patient, you will enjoy a close patient-doctor relationship with no co-pays or extra financial burden. We will also help guide you through the traditional healthcare system for services that are not available through our clinic. We are advocates for your health – both with you and for you!

What to Expect on Day 1
The day your membership begins with Euphora Health you will receive a text to download our secure messaging phone app. This is where you will fill out your health history form and schedule your initial consultation phone call with your doctor. The initial consultation phone call is important to formally establish care with our clinic. You will get to share your health history in detail with your doctor and they will ask you questions to get to know you and your health personally so they can work to get you up to date on any routine wellness needs and are as prepared as possible to care for you in the event of future injury or illness.
If you are unable to use our phone app we are still able to take care of you. Please respond to our welcome text or call our office when your membership starts so our medical assistants can get you established with our clinic so you can also make the most of your health benefits.
