Physician Spotlight: Dr. Loren King, MD
Welcome to the Southeast Medical Group Physician Spotlight, where we highlight our incredible physicians! February's Spotlight features Dr. Loren King, MD, lead physician and owner of SouthernCare Family Medicine in Calhoun, Georgia.
Dr. King's clinic has served the Calhoun area for many years as SouthernCare Direct. His clinic offers Direct Primary Care, a subscription-based care model that offers enhanced access to primary care for a flat monthly fee. Now affiliated with Southeast Medical Group, Dr. King intends to expand the scope of his care, including sharing the many benefits of Direct Primary Care with Calhoun and beyond.
What is Direct Primary Care?
In recent years, the direct primary care (DPC) model has gained traction as a patient-centered alternative to traditional fee-for-service healthcare. This model, characterized by a direct financial relationship between patients and providers, offers a wide range of benefits.
For a flat monthly rate, SouthernCare's direct primary care (DPC) model offers improved access to primary care services such as:
- Unlimited Clinic Visits
- Unlimited Telehealth
- Access to Deeply Discounted Labs
- Huge Discounts on Many Generic Medications
- No Copay
- All With or Without Insurance
How Does DPC Benefit Me?
The DPC model prioritizes patient satisfaction and autonomy by providing unlimited access to appointments (in-person or virtual), access to many generic medications, and wholesale-priced labs all for a flat monthly rate. DPC offers a patient-centered approach to healthcare that prioritizes accessibility, personalized care, preventive services, financial transparency, cost savings, and a strong patient-provider relationship.
