Pay Flat Fees to Doctors With Direct Primary Care

Ever need to wait a week or more to see your primary care doctor? Perhaps you should follow the lead of Debra Sallee, 58, a Seattle hair salon owner. For a flat fee of $79 a month, she can see her family physician as often as she wants—with no co-payments or health insurance forms. "It's just so convenient. They are at my beck and call," she says.

For several years, Sallee has been a member of Qliance, a primary care provider with four locations in and near Seattle.
