Frequently asked questions
💰 Wait- you don’t take insurance? Why should I pay on top of my insurance premium?
TLDR: Better care. No bureaucracy. More time for you. 30-60 minute visits and no waiting room! No copayments or hidden charges. Direct access to your physician. HOME VISITS! Add up your copays and coinsurance and deductibles and the difference in premium for "good" insurance from catastrophic.... Wandercare is a much better value, and vastly better (INCOMPARABLE) care!
🚫 The Problem
Insurance-based healthcare isn’t working—for anyone! Not for patients, and not for doctors.
Today’s system prioritizes quantity over quality, pushing doctors to rush through visits and treat symptoms instead of supporting long-term health. Did you know that less than half of your doctor’s time is spent face-to-face with patients? Instead they are bogged down with meaningless insurance paperwork. It leaves patients feeling like numbers and doctors overwhelmed and burnt out. Visits are brief, relationships are impersonal, and true healing is often overlooked. Meanwhile, patients are being denied covered services and care, while their hard-earned money lines the pockets of the insurance company! We all lose in a system that dehumanizes care.
In a traditional clinic, providers often care for thousands of patients. At Wandercare, your physician sees only a few hundred—giving you more time, more access, and more personalized attention.
