Do you take Insurance?

No. We’ve structured our model to be able to provide the highest quality of care while still saving our patients money whether they have insurance or not. Over 70% of our patients have health insurance and have still found that we provide better care at a lower cost. You see in the 1950’s the rise of for-profit insurance companies emerged and from that point on insurance companies have cared more about profit than patient health. Now the Government and Insurance companies dictate the care you get where our model allows us to provide you with the care you need. That is why we are proud to say we do not accept insurance that allows you to get the quality of care you need at a far more affordable cost. In most cases, we can actually save you money even with insurance. Please contact us to see if our model can work for you.

Do you work with Businesses or Corporations?

Yes! In fact, we have a special package for businesses that can save them more than 35-65% on their healthcare expenses. This package also provides better, more personalized care, increasing employee health and loyalty. Keep Your Employees & Attract New Ones Health benefits have been shown to be the #1 benefit employees look for when looking for a new job and the main tool for retaining high-quality employees. Save Your Business Money Small businesses spend an average of $3000 per year per employee on healthcare costs. With Desert Mobile Medical, our membership packages can save you over $2000 per employee! Affordable And Convenient No co-pays. No deductibles. A house call doctor will come to you which reduces worker’s compensation cases, fewer hospitalizations, and fewer urgent care visits. Typically 90% of issues can be solved with direct primary care yet most people are paying huge fees for their healthcare. With our system, you can cut most of those costs out, and get better care from the comfort of your own home. Our fiscal year just ended and our hospitalization rates for 2019 were 3.0%, our urgent care visits, and our worker’s comp cases were 0%. This means more productive, happy, loyal employees. If you could offer your employees a much better health care solution at a significant reduction of cost to your business, would you? Fill out this form to find out if we can save your business money

How much does it cost?

Typically, our model allows us to save our patients money on the overall medical cost. We like to look at your medical costs as a whole for the year (such as co-pays and deductibles), not just the premiums you pay for insurance. Please click here to see our pricing models.

What are the benefits of Home-Based Direct Primary Care?

Did you know 90% of health issues can be solved with Direct Primary Care? Desert Mobile Medical is Healthcare built around you meaning we are convenient (since we come to your home), we are flexible (we typically accommodate for same day or next day appointments), and affordable and privacy (we take out the middleman, health insurance, to give you quality healthcare with no hidden costs or impossibly complicated invoices). Overall one of the biggest benefits is saving on lost time. Not only the lost time of driving to and then waiting at the doctor’s office, but also because we give the time needed we can make sure you have the best care resulting in a more effective you. Plus by having your very own personal concierge physician, like in the movies, you become the talk of the town (they don’t need to know you are probably saving money at the same time!).

So what is the catch?

I guess the biggest catch is you will no longer have an excuse to not go to the doctor and be the healthiest you can be anymore. As stated above, we don’t take insurance, however, over 70% of our patients have health insurance and have still found that we provide better care at a lower cost. We are happy to run the numbers with you to see if this model of care will work for you and your budget. Other than that you no longer have to wait in waiting rooms with sick people, you will get a licensed Concierge MD(Physician) who will come right to you, you will have access to email or text your Physician, and many other benefits.

The Lowdown On Allergies And Allergens | Desert Mobile Medical Doctors

Welcome to Desert Mobile Medical’s bimonthly newsletter. It’s April and it’s allergy season! Our goal is to educate and empower you to make the best possible choices when it comes to your health and those of your loved ones. In honor of your body’s host defenses gone wrong, we are putting the spotlight on Hay Fever (Allergic Rhinitis).

The Lowdown on Allergies and Allergens:

Phoenix ranks 79th out of 100 on the list of Allergy Capitals Spring 2019 by the Asthma & Allergy Foundation of America for 2019, but that doesn’t mean it’s not going to get from bad to worse for our allergy sufferers.

The whole world does the allergy dance! Dust, Bermudagrass, Mulberry, Cottonwood, Ash, Mesquite, Ragweed, Juniper, Olive tree, Palo Verde, Feather Palm,

Russian Thistle (tumbleweeds), African Sumac are the major allergens here in the Valley of the Sun.

The whole world does the allergy dance! Dust, Bermudagrass, Mulberry, Cottonwood, Ash, Mesquite, Ragweed, Juniper, Olive tree, Palo Verde, Feather Palm,

Russian Thistle (tumbleweeds), African Sumac are the major allergens here in the Valley of the Sun.

Phoenix is consistently ranked among the worst regions in the country when it comes to air quality.

The Battle Royale begins – An allergic reaction occurs when the immune system overreacts to a harmless substance known as an allergen. That looks like a case of mistaken identity. In some people, substances such as pollen, certain foods, latex, mold, pet dander, dust mites, or insect stings are allergens that trigger the production of antibodies called Immunoglobulin E (IgE). These antibodies travel to cells that release chemicals, causing symptoms most often in the nose, lungs, throat, sinuses, ears, the lining of the stomach, or on the skin.

Did you know that there are actually 4 different types of allergic reactions? The allergic reaction we are talking about today is regarding environmental allergens like the ones described above, and are all part of Type I immediate hypersensitivity reaction group. This involves cross-linking of two IgE receptors (those darn antibodies) on basophils and mast cells with the allergen and subsequent release of inflammatory mediators like leukotriene and that dreaded histamine.

That’s why it’s important to either:
Avoid those allergens altogether – Like never go outside ever again, stay away from your pets…well, you get the idea. It’s best to remove your clothing and wash away those allergens from your skin (showers and baths) before hopping into bed for the night.
Take medications to:

a) Avoid histamine release – Older histamine blockers like Diphenhydramine (Benadryl) or Hydroxyzine (Vistaril) vs newer generation histamine blockers like Loratadine (Claritin), Fexofenadine (Allegra), or Cetirizine (Zyrtec). There are eye drop alternatives for those that suffer from allergic conjunctivitis, namely Olopatadine (Patanol).

b) Avoid Leukotriene release – Leukotriene inhibitors like Montelukast (Singulair) or Zafirkulast (Accolate).

c) Decrease overall inflammation – Nasal steroids like Fluticasone (Flonase), Triamcinolone (Nasacort), and many others. I do not recommend oral steroids for environmental allergens unless your allergies are severe.

d) Stabilize Mast cells to prevent the release of histamine and leukotriene – Cromolyn Sodium, Azelastine (Astelin) and yes, VITAMIN D (remember our last newsletter).

e) Combat after-effects with decongestants.

f) PRETREATMENT – Start taking your allergy medications a few weeks before allergy season begins.

Obtain Allergen Immunotherapy or desensitization. Talk to us if your allergies are moderate to severe in nature and you’ve tried the above remedies without relief.
