The combination of out-of-pocket payments and the Direct Primary Care (membership) alternative effectively caters to a significant portion of the population comprising employed individuals who face the challenge of exorbitant medical expenses and insurance premiums. Whether you are a contractor, self-employed person, small business owner, freelancer, teacher, college student, or any other individual in need of a primary care provider, we invite you to visit Smart Choice and enjoy the level of care that you deserve and can manage financially. Our Direct Primary Care (membership) option might even make your expenses more budget-friendly.

We view it as an improved and preferred approach to patient care, eliminating the hassles of insurance, paperwork, resource wastage, and strict mandates. This, in turn, cultivates a strong and positive bond between our healthcare professionals and their patients. Our membership and out-of-pocket options actively support and nurture this relationship.

We welcome various forms of payment, including cash, cashier's check, debit card, as well as major credit cards such as Visa, Mastercard, American Express, and Discover.

Please bring in your form of payment, a photo ID, your insurance card if you are using insurance and a list of any medications you’re currently taking.

Upon arrival, our receptionist will warmly greet you and assist with the check-in process. If you haven't completed the necessary forms online beforehand, we will provide you with the required forms at the clinic for completion. Once the forms are reviewed, we will provide you with an estimated wait time. When it is your turn, a medical assistant or nurse will accompany you to a private room where your visit will take place. At the conclusion of your visit, if applicable, you will receive a summary of your treatment, any recommendations, prescribed medications, referrals, and/or the opportunity to schedule a follow-up appointment.

If you are a member or choose to pay out of pocket, rest assured that you will never receive a bill. Payments are expected at the time of service. For Smart Choice Medical Clinic members, the monthly membership fee includes coverage for your clinic visit. However, if you opt to use insurance, there is a possibility that you may receive a bill.

At Smart Choice Medical Clinic, our team consists of certified nurse practitioners, medical assistants, and/or nurses. Our nurse practitioners operate under a collaborative practice agreement with an independent physician, ensuring that consultations are readily available when necessary.
