Who We Serve

We serve the community; it’s as simple as that. We’re here for people who are tired of healthcare that feels impersonal, expensive, or confusing. Whether you’re looking for a long-term relationship with a physician, affordable imaging without surprise bills, or transparent pharmacy pricing, we offer a better way forward.

  • Individuals and families seeking a more personal, relationship-based approach to medical care
  • Patients without insurance who still want affordable, high-quality healthcare, imaging, and medications
  • Those with insurance and high deductibles, looking for upfront pricing and lower out-of-pocket costs
  • People who need imaging services like CT, X-ray, or ultrasound — fast, affordable, and without the red tape
  • Patients who value time with their physician and don’t want to be rushed or bounced between providers
  • Anyone who’s tired of long pharmacy lines and inflated drug prices — and wants access to wholesale pricing
  • Employers looking for a better healthcare solution for their team — one that improves outcomes and cuts costs
  • People who want healthcare that’s simple, transparent, and focused on what really matters: their well-being

Become a Member Today

Instead of a per visit fee, our patients pay a flat monthly membership fee per person. We do offer a discounted monthly membership rate for children ages 3-17 and those that see the same physician as a parent. It works similarly to a Netflix subscription or a gym membership in that you pay every month rather than per visit. See pricing information below.

Pricing

By choosing to receive care at Hitchcock Family Medicine, you can be assured you’ll receive enhanced access to your physician, personalized care, cost savings, and transparent pricing. There are no co-pays or per-visit fees for covered primary care. Membership pricing is based on age, not medical complexity or pre-existing conditions.

Monthly Subscriptions

  • Birth to 2 years – $99 per month
  • 3-17 years – $69 per month
  • 18 + years – $99 per month
  • Children who see the same physician as a parent: $39 per month

*Membership fees are billed monthly. Medications, outside laboratory work, imaging, equipment, send-out pathology, and other separately priced services are not included in the monthly membership.

Please contact us if interested in learning more about corporate pricing.

“ I was able to schedule an ultrasound right away. ”
“The tech was kind and knowledgeable. Paid a fraction of what it would have cost through my insurance company. Cannot stress enough how great Dr. H and his entire team are! My daughter and I have been patients for 6 years, we’ve had 4 different insurance policies during that time— we’ve never had to switch docs just because our insurance company decided to change who they work with, and I have saved HOURS of my life (appointments always start on time) and thousands of dollars by being members! - D. L. ”

“Joining Hitchcock has been the best decision for our family.”
“My son recently sprained his thumb at the jump park. When we reached out about seeing his doctor, they got us an appointment that day. Ten minutes later he got an x-ray done. They took three images. It cost us $25. I am so thankful for this place, and would recommend it to everyone. -R. G.”

“We recommend Hitchcock Family Medicine to everyone we know!”
“Dr. H answers emails promptly. He has met us in the middle of the day to remove a Lego from my son's nose and after hours for stitches for my husband and my son on different occasions (avoiding ER waits and charges). We always have the office to ourselves, and we never feel rushed. Our concerns are always heard. We wouldn't want anyone else for our PCP.”
— Bekah
