Frequently asked questions
The monthly membership includes comprehensive primary care services for pediatric (age 5 or older, fully vaccinated) and adult patients. Further, the monthly membership costs will include multiple modalities of care including in-person visits, telemedicine, phone calls, text/portal messaging. The cost of procedural care will be included with the monthly membership except for the cost of supplies. Some commonly included procedures will be skin lesion biopsies and removals, cryotherapy, incision and drainages, select joint injections, trigger point injections, pap smears, IUD insertions, and more. The costs of these services will be transparent to patients prior to any services provided.
When deemed appropriate for both Dr. McAtee and the patient, a home visit may be provided within the cost of membership. Up to 2 home visits/year in Los Alamos and White Rock are included with membership. Additional home-visits will cost $100 per visit. Home visits outside of Los Alamos/White Rock are $100 per visit + travel time.
Dr. McAtee treats patients from age 5 and older. Dr. McAtee practices evidence-based medicine and respects the role of vaccines in preventative care, therefore requests that pediatric patients are vaccinated with required vaccines prior to joining her practice.
You will continue to be able to use your insurance for any orders including labs, imaging and referrals you receive from Dr. McAtee. Also and advantageously, Dr. McAtee will stock certain commonly used medications or have access to medications for you at wholesale prices, which in some circumstance can actually be less expensive than using your insurance, not to mention, much more convenient than standing in line at the pharmacy.
No, Sol Direct Primary Care does not accept or bill insurance. The practice is sustained by a monthly membership fee. We prioritize and serve the patient, without having to focus on the requirements of insurance and billing. By reducing the financial and time restraints of insurance, Dr. McAtee can commit as much time as is needed to provide comprehensive, efficient and personalized healthcare.
Absolutely! Insurance is critical, especially for unforeseen circumstances such as catastrophic care, including hospitalizations and surgeries.
No. Sol Direct Primary Care is not insurance. Rather, it is an entity that provides comprehensive Primary Care that does not accept insurance as a payment method.
Well, my question to you is, “what does it mean to have good insurance?” Are you able to access your doctor when you need her? Do you spend enough time with your doctor? Does your doctor really know you? Does your current relationship with your physician yield a proactive approach to your health? The beauty of Sol Direct Primary Care lies in the access to care. When you need a doctor, Dr. McAtee is available to support and advocate for your healthcare needs. Dr. McAtee will strive to provide holistic and evidence-based care that in some circumstances may be much more than what insurance would support.
No problem. There is no long-term commitment and you can cancel your membership at anytime. If you pay annually or months ahead, you will be refunded the remainder of your balance.
In general, yes, though this may be employer dependent. I recommend you check with you accountant, lawyer and/or employer to verify.
Cash, Checks or Automatic Bank Transfer are the preferred methods of payment. Credit Cards/FSA/HSA are accepted, but there will be an additional transaction fee for card processing.

Dr. McAtee does not manage chronic pain with opioids or manage anxiety with benzodiazepines. The national rise of overdoses (intentional and unintentional) is alarming and with full respect of the potential harm that these medications can cause, Dr. McAtee will defer to specialist care for management of these controlled substances. Dr. McAtee will manage these conditions and others with non-habit forming medications and evidence-based modalities. We do not have ANY controlled substances in-house.
Privacy is yet another advantage of Direct Primary Care! We do not share any information with insurance, employers or anyone else unless this is requested and authorized by the patient.
