Sozo provides membership-based medical care inspired by the Direct Primary Care (DPC) model. Under the DPC model, the patient pays a monthly membership fee and receives health care directly from the physician. DPC practices do not participate in any insurance plans, allowing physicians to focus on caring for the patient rather than excessive documentation demands and overhead costs associated with billing insurance companies. This means less stress, no co-pays, relaxed visits and direct access to your doctor.

While it is not required, we encourage all our patients to continue a relationship with a PCP.  Dr. Young is trained in Lifestyle Medicine and Emergency Medicine making her skillset a great adjunct to your primary care. She can provide same day or next day visits for urgent issues in many cases, is available by phone, email or text for quick questions and schedules relaxed visits for lifestyle medicine related care.  While most PCPs desire to spend time with their patients, frequently they are constrained by time due to large patient panels. Dr. Young will stay in touch with your PCP regarding any urgent matters and to communicate your progress in decreasing your need for medications.

• Patients who have a strong motivation to change the course of their lives through healthy lifestyle intervention.

• Patients who seek a more personal doctor-patient relationship

•  12-65 years old - Membership based care - Healthy Lifestyle Maintenance or Comprehensive Lifestyle Intervention

• Children under 12 - While we do not offer membership for pediatrics, we are happy to provide flat rate, acute care appointments for the children of our members

• Adults over 65 -  Due to regulations outside of our control, we are unable to see medicare patients in our medical practice. However patients over 65 are offered a non-medical membership to take advantage of our health coaches, non-medical practitioners, facility and community

Medications, send-out labs, pathology and imaging are not included in the membership. These may be covered by insurance.  For members who prefer to pay out of pocket, Sozo will also have discounted rates pre-negotiated in most cases. Prior to opening, we will post an up-to-date list of costs, however, to get an idea based on other DPC negotiated prices:

• Medications - Most will be under $10 for a 90 day supply (Sozo will have an in-house pharmacy and can supply many medications at-cost.)

• Send out labs - Most are under $10 each

• Imaging x-ray $40-55, CT $200-400, MRI $250-500, Mammogram $130-150

Examples of average cash pay prices:

All MRIs $300

All CTs $150

US Abdomen $150-170

Pelvic Ultrasound $130-150

Chest X-ray $25-50
