    To Dr. Paul Williams
    Although we plan to attend one of your information meetings, we have questions which we would appreciate your answering beforehand:

    1. Since you no longer will be participating in Medicare and other health insurance programs, who do we list as our primary care physician with Medicare and Regence Uniform (our current insurance provider)? Will Washington Park Direct Care be accepted as a primary care provider?

    2. How will we purchase medications? Through your office? At our local pharmacy?

      1. We would be considered your primary care physician, but would be considered out of network. And since the insurance isn’t being charged by our office, that really has no financial bearing to you.
      2. Your Medicare insurance will still cover those “Providers” that still take your insurance – such as pharmacies, radiologic groups, referral doctors, laboratory services. So yes you can still get your medications at your pharmacy and your insurance, but if our prices for the ones we carry are lower priced, you may want to get some of them from us.

About Doctor Paul

Dr. Paul Williams, MD is a small-town family practice doctor working in Centralia, Washington. He works from the same office where his primary care practice was established by his father over 38 years ago. He believes strongly that the art of the old-fashioned primary care doctor is an important feature of our medical system that should be preserved and protected from excess interference from insurance companies and government regulation alike.

Due to changes in the health care industry and regulations affecting it, and in an effort to preserve the art of old-fashioned primary care, Dr. Paul has shifted his practice to a Direct Care model, meaning that patients pay an affordable monthly fee to purchase primary care health care services directly, rather than having their services billed through an insurance company.

This blog is intended to help Dr. Paul's patients (and anyone else!) understand the changes the medical industry is going through, and to provide information about the Direct Care model of primary care.
