Schumacher Family Medicine does not bill health insurance for membership or visits. Members pay a flat monthly fee directly to the practice. The membership pairs well with a high-deductible insurance plan or a medical cost-sharing program, which members can use for hospitalizations and specialist care.

The membership covers all the visits a member may need, same-day or next-day appointments, and extended visits when necessary. It also includes in-office procedures such as EKGs, injections, suturing, and minor skin procedures. Members also receive access to laboratory services, discounted prescriptions, and reduced-cost imaging studies including x-ray, CT scan, and MRI.
