Our name comes from Whychus Creek (pronounced “Why-chus”), which runs through Sisters, Oregon. Whychus, meaning “the place we cross the water" originates from the Sahaptin language used by Native Americans in the area.
The Direct Primary Care model allows you to access quality primary care; the gateway to all other medical care, without the hassle of dealing with office staff, no returned phone calls and overall delays to your care due to the failing medical system.
We can offer this at an affordable monthly cost because we do not charge your insurance for our services. A typical primary care provider charges insurance based on billing codes resulting in non transparent costs for the provider and the patient. However, we do use your insurance for labs, imaging and referrals, meaning you come to us, we then use your insurance for all other services, so it does not go to waste. Essentially, we are cutting out the middleman resulting in quality medical care.
DPC is not an insurance plan, and we recommend having insurance in addition to our services for hospitalizations, specialty care, and surgical procedures. Many DPC patients opt for low-cost, high-deductible insurance. We also recommend Life flight Network, Sisters Country FireMed Membership
