Pediatric Direct Primary Care (PDPC) is a healthcare model that allows children to receive personalized pediatric care from their doctor without third-party insurance. Let’s take a closer look at the benefits of PDPC for your child and family.
Attentive Care for Every Child
When insurance dictates the quality of care and how much care your child can receive per visit, your options are limited. Pediatric direct primary care provides concierge care for your child, including:
-
Direct Access to Their Doctor: Text, email, or call us with your concerns. You can rest easy knowing your pediatrician will see and respond to your messages as soon as possible.
-
Same or Next-Day Appointments: PDPC patients don’t wait weeks or months for their checkup, sports physical, or a follow-up visit. Get kids seen quickly, and feeling better fast.
-
Quality Time: We aren’t limited to 10 minutes in the exam room per patient per visit. We spend the time necessary to get to know you and your child. We take a careful approach to their health. We care for their whole bodies and selves.
-
Preventative Care: You’ve likely experienced the maddening inability to get pediatric care for a problem or concern because something “isn’t on their chart” or “wasn’t coded correctly”. PDPC isn’t dependent on insurance. We integrate preventative care for pediatric illnesses into your child’s personalized healthcare plan.
-
Holistic Approach: We know that healthy kids don’t exist in a vacuum. Our approach integrates lifestyle coaching and recommendations to keep kids happy and healthy emotionally, socially, and physically.
Continuity of Care
Continuity of Care (COC) in pediatric care is crucial. It supports kids’ healthy psychosocial development. Children have time to build strong, trusting relationships with their pediatrician. That emotional security leads to improved social development, learning, and growth.
Continuity of care also gives doctors plenty of context and nuance from which to plan more personalized preventative and holistic pediatric care. We’ve seen firsthand how pediatric COC contributes to smoother developmental progress and fewer behavioral issues over time. We love watching kids grow their confidence as they get to know themselves and others.
Comfort and Kindness
We want every child and family who comes to Bluewater Family Wellness to feel cared for and comfortable. We love the PDPC model for the flexibility it offers parents and kids.
Sometimes, coming into the office isn’t ideal or necessary for kids to feel better. We include telehealth visits for added convenience when your child isn’t feeling their best. We also offer some in-home healthcare, including newborn visits, disease testing, and more.
If your child needs additional care from specialists, or other services our clinic doesn’t provide, don’t worry. We’ll discuss options with you and help you make a plan, so your child has the best possible care team for their needs.
