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.

Why Lung Cancer Affects More Women Than Men

New studies have shown that lung cancer affects more women than men compared to rates in previous years. In the late ’90s, the rate of lung cancer affecting women was 12% lower than lung cancer rates for men. Between 2010 and 2014, the rate has increased dramatically to 17% more than the lung cancer rate of men. In regards to women in the United States, research also indicates that about 85% of lung cancer is related to smoking. While it is logical to think that higher lung cancer rates are due to more women smoking, studies have shown that men still smoke more cigarettes per day compared to women.

What Could Be The Cause Of Higher Lung Cancer Rates In Women?

One possibility is that when female smokers quit smoking, the negative impacts of smoking continue to affect their bodies. Even when women quit smoking, they still have the risk of having lung cancer at a higher rate compared to men that quit smoking. Other studies have shown that women might be more biologically vulnerable to the damaging effects of smoking, however, these studies have concluded in mixed results. Another study showed that people who quit smoking before the age of 40 have a higher chance of developing lung cancer. A skillful house call doctor can perform a physical exam and run specific diagnostics to look for your risk for lung cancer based on your lifestyle and current symptoms if any are present.

Stop Smoking As Soon As Possible

In general, studies indicate that the rates of lung cancer have declined over time; However, the traditional male to female rates have flipped compared to previous years. In the United States, the annual rate of lung cancer in Americans born in the late 1960s is about 25 cases for every 100,000 women compared to 23 cases for every 100,000 men. These results show a massive change when compared with Americans born in the 1950s. The results show that men born in the 1950s have a higher chance of being affected by lung cancer compared to women born in the same time frame. At this point, the message for smokers (male and female) is clear: stop smoking as soon as possible. The idea that lung cancer only affects older smokers is entirely incorrect as lung cancer can negatively impact people even in their younger years.

Women And Lung Cancer

Worldwide, lung cancer is the third most common cancer in women with breast cancer and colon cancer affecting women more frequently. Lung cancer accounted for more than 580,000 cases and 490,000 deaths in 2013. Studies also show that women have a 50% chance of fatality annually from lung cancer compared to those affected by breast cancer. In the United States, the smoking rate for women increased dramatically between the 1930s and the 1960s which increased the mortality rate to women caused by lung cancer.

In conclusion, lung cancer can no longer be seen as a disease that only affects males or people over 50 years old. Although more uncommon, lung cancer can even affect relatively young women in their late 20s and 40s. Avoid polluting your body with harmful chemicals and start taking control of your health.
