A New Approach to Health Care
After practicing healthcare for the past two decades, the providers at Root Cause felt limited by the dictates of commercial insurance. The directives of how they practiced, what they prescribed and how much time they could spend with a patient took away the joy of practicing medicine. The practice was not sustainable. By the time they paid someone to document the visit, bill the insurance company, receive the rejection from insurance, re-submit the claim and then accept a small amount that didn’t cover the cost of the building, support staff, required electronic medical records system or supplies, practicing medicine was not worth it.
Out of all of this frustration with what is wrong with our healthcare system, Root Cause was born.
Straightforward Medicine
Root Cause removes all of the hurdles and restrictions that insurance often dictate on the care we can provide. This is now a simpler way for patients to talk with a provider, learn how to manage their healthcare and get the answers they need. The cost is clear – there is no guesswork about co-pays or deductibles. It’s straightforward medicine. The way all medicine should be practiced.
The providers at Root Cause want patients to gain wellness. The providers are able to rely on years of experience of using natural forms of medicine as well as prescribing pharmaceuticals. At Root Cause, we know there is a time and place to use prescriptions, as long as they are managed well, patients can thrive. Often, our providers use a blend of solutions. Our providers involve patients in the decision making for the best outcome. Patients know their bodies and lifestyles. They are encouraged to play an active role in their own healthcare.
We have big plans for Root Cause. We look forward to growing the practice into a place where the community can come for straightforward answers and guidance.
