Direct Pediatrics Care

Direct Pediatrics Care charges $70 per month for children from birth through age 11 and $80 per month for patients ages 12 through 22. Families pay a maximum of $150 per month regardless of how many children they enroll. The membership carries no copays, no deductibles, and no hidden fees.

The monthly membership covers all well-child visits, sick visits, and medically necessary lab work. Dr. Eames performs labs through an in-office CLIA-waived lab or sends them to Quest Diagnostics at no additional charge. Immunization schedules, developmental screenings, school and sports physicals, and chronic condition management all fall within the membership.

Direct Pediatrics Care does not bill insurance for membership services. The flat monthly fee replaces copays and deductibles for primary care. The practice still recommends that members carry insurance for specialist visits, hospitalizations, emergency care, and prescription medications not covered under the membership.

No. Direct Pediatrics Care operates exclusively through home visits. Dr. Eames travels to patients throughout Wythe County and the New River Valley. Families do not need to bring a sick child to a waiting room.

Yes. Direct Pediatrics Care offers same-day or next-day appointments for acute concerns. Members reach Dr. Eames directly by phone, text, or email to arrange a visit quickly. There are no surprise costs for urgent or extended visits.

Direct Pediatrics Care serves patients from birth through age 22. This includes newborns, infants, school-age children, and young adults still under pediatric care.

Dr. Eames provides home visits throughout Wythe County and all of the New River Valley in Southwest Virginia. The practice does not maintain a physical clinic location.

Dr. Eames coordinates referrals to pediatric subspecialists he worked with during his residency at Virginia Tech Carilion. He manages the referral process directly. Subspecialist visits fall outside the membership, so families should use their insurance for those appointments.

Families enroll online through the Direct Pediatrics Care enrollment portal. The process takes less than five minutes. You can also call the practice at 276-223-8087 to speak with Dr. Eames directly before enrolling.

Direct Pediatrics Care recommends that members maintain health insurance. The membership covers all primary care services and lab work. Insurance remains important for specialist visits, hospitalizations, emergency care, and costly medications or diagnostic imaging.
