Jiva Direct Primary Care

Jiva membership costs $149 per month for individuals 18 and older, and $249 per month for couples. The practice currently offers a founders rate of $99 per month for the first six months, available to the first 50 members. There are no copays for primary care and no per-visit charges.

No, but Jiva recommends keeping a health insurance plan. The membership covers your primary care. Insurance handles the bigger-ticket needs: specialist visits, hospital stays, imaging, and emergencies. Many members pair their Jiva membership with a higher-deductible or health-sharing plan to cover those costs.

Membership covers everyday and urgent clinic visits, telehealth, same-day and next-day appointments, comprehensive and wellness exams, chronic disease management, hormone evaluation and replacement, perimenopause and menopause care, medically assisted weight loss, longevity medicine, EKG, urinalysis, in-office procedures, and discounted lab testing. Primary care runs start to finish under one flat fee.

The membership covers all primary care at Jiva. Lab work, imaging, specialist visits, hospital services, and prescriptions are billed separately. Members do receive discounted lab pricing, which often runs well below standard retail rates.

Many Jiva members use their HSA or FSA toward their membership. Eligibility depends on your specific plan and current rules, so check with your plan administrator to confirm before enrolling.

Members reach Dr. Kakar directly by phone, text, secure chat, or video. Many straightforward concerns resolve without a trip to the office. Same-day and next-day appointments are available for anything that needs an in-person visit.

Jiva offers same-day and next-day appointments for urgent needs. Members also have direct access to Dr. Kakar by phone, text, and video for questions that do not require an office visit.

No. Jiva membership runs month to month with no long-term commitment. Members can cancel at any time.

Jiva serves adults 18 and older. Dr. Kakar is an internal medicine physician, so the practice focuses entirely on adult primary care. The practice does not provide pediatric care.

Jiva is currently welcoming its founding members in Zionsville. The panel caps at 50 patients, and the founders rate of $99 per month for the first six months applies to that initial group. Prospective members can reach out through the contact page or schedule a free meet-and-greet with Dr. Kakar to get started.
