Doc Bee Well offers an alternative to a traditional medical practice.  Many of our patients have high deductible health plans that can be expensive to use for routine medical care.  Some of our patients do not have insurance through their work or are unable to obtain medical insurance from the government.  Our membership model allows us to focus on your health and not on insurance reimbursement.  Cost transparency gives our patients confidence that they will not be surprised by a huge office bill.
