Our Lady of Hope Clinic does not participate in insurance. The DPC model removes insurance companies from medical decisions, allowing doctors and patients to make care choices directly. Members pay a monthly fee that covers all routine primary care with no co-pays, deductibles, or insurance billing.

Members receive their doctor's personal cell phone number and email address, same-day or next-day appointments, unrushed visits, and no office co-pays or deductibles. The clinic also coordinates referrals to specialists and provides access to a professional dietitian and physical therapists. Discounted services with area dentists and chiropractors are also available to members.

Yes. Our Lady of Hope Clinic provides free primary care to uninsured patients who cannot afford the membership plan. The clinic holds the distinction of being Southern Wisconsin's only free full-time primary care practice for the uninsured. More than half of all clinic appointments serve uninsured patients at no cost, and the clinic aims to provide 2,700 free appointments in 2026.

Uninsured patients register at the clinic before 9:00 AM or before 1:00 PM on walk-in days. The office sits on the back side of the building, and patients should use the back parking lot. On high-demand days, the clinic may ask patients to return another day. Patients should bring a letter confirming they do not qualify for BadgerCare or Medicaid.
