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.

Time Trees & Physical Health/Physical Therapy

By: Jordon Cavanagh, PT, DPT

Yes, it’s an odd title indeed. But bear with me…

Today I wanted to share a simple analogy… One of the trees. I thought of this analogy while creating a presentation a few years ago, but it has stuck with me. I love it because it is simple, yet provides clarity on how our bodies, our posture, and our movement are shaped in a predictable manner by the environment immediately around us.

For a moment I want you to imagine two trees. The first is a seedling. Slowly growing taller. Never experiencing any significant storm or force of nature to disrupt its growth. It grows tall towards the sun until it is a full and established tree.

Now picture another tree, you might have seen one like this before if you have ever driven the ocean coastline. This one is growing as a seedling. But as it grows, it is constantly being driven landward by the strong sea breeze. As it grows, its branches are constantly being pushed and bowed by the wind. These winds are not traumatic, never causing it to break or falter, but simply begin to shape it. Instead of growing tall and full, this one tends to keep low to the ground, its trunk and branches grow more horizontally and in the direction that the wind pushes. Even on a bright, calm, and sunny day, this tree shows the evidence of the past winds it has been shaped by.

Both of these trees are strong and healthy. Well established. But the forces they have been exposed to have greatly shaped them over time. Their “posture” so to speak is different. The way they look, feel and interact with their world is different.

I recently began treating a patient who told me that for the past 3 years she has been sleeping in a chair… Not a recliner but more of an upright chair… Every night as she falls asleep she slumps forward, her chin to her chest. Now that I am seeing her after 3 years of this, she is unable to lift her head and look forwards. Her neck has become so stiff she can not look up. Her balance has been affected and she finds it difficult to walk without the ability to look up at the world around her. The “winds” have shaped her.

I also think of another patient, who naturally has a lot of muscle tightness. Due to his work, he spends a lot of time each day sitting at his computer. Due to his sitting posture and his predisposition to become very stiff, he has developed significant muscle tightness in his legs, pelvis, and lower back. As he stands, he is unable to fully straighten his knees, he leans slightly forward at the hips. To prevent from falling forward, he has to excessively lift his head and pull his arms/shoulders back to establish balance. It is as if his muscles are a tight rubber band, constantly pulling him forward. This has caused a lot of strain on his back, resulting in pain and contributing to recent surgeries. The “winds” have shaped him.

Another patient that comes to mind recently turned 97. He walks daily and has always tended to stay fairly active. He is able to get on and off the floor and believes in regular stretching. He stands tall and upright, not needing a walker or any equipment as he walks. He performs his daily activities with ease. The “winds” have too shaped him.

Our physical well-being is shaped by the forces around us. By the forces, we choose to expose our bodies to day in and day out. In the vast majority of these instances, we are completely unaware that our environment is having some effect on us. We don’t think about our posture, how we sit, or how we move… we just live and move, completing our daily tasks as they need to be done. But very slowly and very subtly we begin to be shaped. Our posture, joints, muscles, and tissues all begin to adapt. They can adapt in negative ways, and they can adapt in positive ways. With this knowledge and awareness though, we can begin to observe and make conscious choices that allow our environment to positively influence our physical wellbeing. A physical therapist can greatly facilitate this.
