Pimary Care Plan

How It Works 
PCP is simple. Pay a low yearly Enrollment Fee and receive deep discounts on complete primary medical care from a respected group of Board Certified Family Physicians. You are treated like any other patient in the practice and receive the same high quality care from your personal physician.

PCP includes: pediatric check ups (including immunizations), adult complete physical exams and all sick visits and follow up visits.

Not Health Insurance
PCP is not health insurance. PCP is a discount on self-pay care. You choose your office visit fee discount according to your yearly Enrollment Fee.

What’s Not Covered
Some supplies, such as immunizations, injectable antibiotics and in-office lab tests, may carry an extra charge. Also, because PCP is not health insurance, all services provided outside the office setting and by other providers are not included. Examples are: prescription drugs, emergency room and urgent care visits, hospital bills, specialists, lab fees, x-ray fees, physical therapy, etc. Therefore, PCP is a natural fit with supplemental plans to pay for these costs. Major medical insurance plans (low cost-high deductible insurance) and medical savings accounts, when they are options, can offset costs that are incurred outside our office. However, one need not have supplemental coverage to enroll in PCP.

An Ounce of Prevention...
Overall health costs are rising rapidly. But primary care costs are rising more slowly. Primary care (Family Medicine in particular), with it’s focus on prevention and care of the whole person and family, will always offer the least expensive and most cost-effective way to spend health care dollars. We as Family Doctors treat about 80% of medical problems that come through our doors. Because we are familiar with so many aspects of our patient’s lives, we often focus in on problems and treat them without expensive tests. In fact, most of the tests we order are for screening purposes - to prevent more complicated and costly future problems. This is why our Primary Care Plan is so reasonably priced. At Family Doctors of East Providence, we work hard to make sure you get the best possible medical care. It just costs less to do it!
