Family First Direct Primary Care with Kevin McGann MD:

Interested in Direct Primary Care? Why this Direct Primary Care? 

It has Dr. McGann.

1. Dr. McGann is a Pure DPC Practice. F1DPC is a "Pure DPC" Primary Care Doctors Office. Unlike hybrid models, we do not accept some insurance policies yet reject others. We are DPC only. This office does not contract with any health insurance companies, including Medicare. This allows the physician to work for the patient, not the insurance company. This allows the patient & their physician to be the decision makers in their healthcare, not the insurance company. This practice is owned by the Physician, a key principle needed for Physician autonomy to best serve patients.

2. Family Medicine Physician exclusively. Family Medicine Physicians are specially trained for Primary Care. They have the widest range of training and the largest scope of practice of any medical specialty. Throughout our life span about 80-85% of our health care needs can be considered Primary Care. A well trained Family Medicine Physician can meet those needs.

3. Dr. McGann is an experienced Clinician first, but also an academic with a research history. Kevin McGann MD has over 25 years of experience as a direct patient care Physician and over 35 years in healthcare; all of it involving direct patient care. He has served as an Assistant Professor for 2 medical schools teaching medical students, resident physicians, and allied health students. He has participated in medical research and contributed to publications in medical journals. He has been in physician-owned private for most of his career. He started DPC in 2018.

4. Quality Care.  Dr. McGann has consistently received positive feedback from his patients his entire career. He consistently had top scores as a teaching physician. In his previous work with insurance companies he met the highest ratings for quality measures and KPI's (key performance indicators). He is especially known for his caring nature, dedication to his patients, and commitment to service.

5. Faith Based. Dr. McGann is a practicing Catholic and values his faith.  He practices medicine by the guide of Catholic Moral Teachings and Ethics in Healthcare for Catholic Physicians. He lives his life by Christian ethics, morals and values. The combination of Faith and Science makes for the best Physician.  

6. No additional fees for office visits: As many office visits as you and the doctor decide you need - & it doesn't change the price. Once per year or once per month, same price. No more fears about "doctor visit, doctor bills." Your needs are met without financial fear.

7. Technology savvy.  Have a question or a concern? Text message, Email, or phone call directly with Dr. McGann.

8. More Tech Savvy! - Telemedicine. Video visits are available with Dr. McGann. Again, no extra cost to you, it comes with your membership.

9. Zero to low cost Office Procedures (Non-Emergent, non-Urgent ONLY): Many office procedures are free with your membership. Minor, office-based skin surgery - like removal of moles, skin tags, cysts or needing stitches for various reasons, comes with the membership. Minor, office-based, orthopedic procedures - like splints, casts, joint injections, or trigger point injections are also free with membership. (There is a fee if a biopsy needs to be sent to the lab for investigation and you do have to pay for medications when/if those are used). Basically, if Dr. McGann has the talent to do it, it comes with the membership. This is a unique & exceptional value to members of my DPC practice. I challenge you to research it and see what you pay when you use health insurance for these simple office procedures. It's a very large cost saving!

(*Remember: Family First Direct Primary Care is NOT an Urgent Care Center, not an Emergency Room, and urgent/emergent issues must be directed to the appropriate place).

10. Price transparency. Some things come with a fee. Like medications, biopsies, lab work (blood tests etc), or imaging. Prices will be made clear to you so there are no surprises in Direct Primary Care.

What this IS NOT:

This is important to understand: Direct Primary Care is not health insurance. It is strongly recommended that you have some type of coverage for catastrophic events like hospitalization or the need for surgery/operations. This can be done with Healthcare Sharing Ministries or health insurance. We encourage you to find a catastrophic plan which best complements your DPC membership. In DPC we do not accept insurance plans as payment, do not file claims, and do not do paperwork for insurance companies. It is the removal of insurance companies from Primary Care that makes Direct Primary Care affordable and accessible to so many.

Family First Direct Primary Care with Dr. McGann is for Primary Care purposes only. 

We are not a Louisiana Medicaid facility.

We do not file claims or accept reimbursement from Medicare.

Direct Primary Care does not contract with insurance companies.

Direct Primary Care is not Emergency Medicine.  While Direct Primary Care does strive to give our patients rapid access and lower waiting time to see the Doctor we are not an Emergency Room. We do not have equipment, resources, or staff for genuine emergencies. We are not an Urgent Care Center. We are a Primary Care Doctor's office only.  Genuine emergencies and urgencies must be directed to the appropriate facility. This is at the discretion of the Physician & staff.

Direct Primary Care is not Concierge Medicine. While it's common to confuse these 2 models of healthcare they are NOT THE SAME. We do offer enhanced access to your Doctor. We also offer limited after hours access to your Doctor. However, F1DPC is not 24/7/365 care. Dr. McGann sleeps at night, rests when needed, spends time with his wife & kids & family, coaches youth sports, goes to church on Sunday, and takes rests and vacations when needed.

DPC with Dr. McGann does not offer In-hospital care, nursing home care, nor obstetrics (delivering babies). The doctor does not do pain management with controlled substances (which would be considered Specialist care). There should be no expectation of the prescribing of any controlled substances (habit forming medications) in the Primary Care setting. Dr. McGann does not routinely use any controlled substances for prolonged periods of time.
