Greenleaf Direct Primary Care

Greenleaf structures membership fees by age group. Adults ages 18-44 pay $60 per month, ages 45-64 pay $80 per month, and adults 65 and older pay $100 per month. Couples receive a $5 discount per month. A one-time nonrefundable registration fee of $50 applies when joining. There are no copays, deductibles, or surprise fees.

Greenleaf does not bill insurance. The practice operates on a monthly membership model with transparent, flat-rate pricing. The practice recommends members maintain a separate insurance policy for catastrophic needs such as hospitalizations or major diagnoses.

The IRS currently classifies DPC monthly fees as a health plan, which means HSA funds do not cover membership costs at this time. The practice recommends consulting a financial advisor about the best way to structure your health spending alongside a DPC membership.

Greenleaf gives members 24/7 access to their physician by phone, text, email, and telehealth. The practice offers same-day and next-day appointments. Physicians can also arrange house calls and work visits when circumstances call for it.

Yes, Greenleaf offers telehealth visits for members. Patients can connect with their physician by video without traveling to the office. This option works well for follow-ups, medication management, and acute concerns that do not require an in-person exam.

The annual comprehensive exam includes appropriate lab work and is part of the monthly membership fee. Members pay no additional copays or fees for the exam. The practice uses wholesale lab pricing to keep costs low for any additional testing needed throughout the year.

Yes, Greenleaf partners with myDPCrx to give members access to over 1,000 medications for $10 per month. Members can review the formulary on the practice website to see if this plan covers their current prescriptions.

Greenleaf is not currently accepting Medicare patients. A waitlist is available for those interested in joining when that changes.

Greenleaf caps its total patient panel at 600 members. This limit allows the physicians to keep appointments available and spend meaningful time with each patient.

Yes, Greenleaf actively serves the LGBTQ community. Dr. Josh Estep offers gender-affirming care, prescribes and monitors PrEP, and provides HIV testing. The practice sponsored the 2023 Boytbutante AIDS Foundation Ball in Athens and is committed to reducing stigma around HIV and sexual health.
