Our Approach

We offer personalized healthcare, tailored to meet each patient’s unique needs. Our approach blends modern medical expertise with accessible, empathetic care, fostering lasting doctor-patient partnerships.

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.
