Personalized Headache and Adult Direct Primary Care in Spokane—No Insurance Needed

Yes. We are now accepting new adult patients for both primary care and specialized care for Migraines and Headaches.

As Northwest Direct Primary Care & Headache is an adult primary care clinic clinic and migraine clinic in Spokane. You can see us for ongoing primary care, headache care only, or both together.

Direct primary care (DPC) is a simpler way to get primary care in Spokane, where you have a direct agreement with your physician, rather than going through insurance.

Instead of billing insurance each time you come in, you pay a flat monthly fee. That covers your primary care visits, longer appointments, and most day-to-day care. There are no copays or surprise bills, and you can be seen as often as needed.

No. You do not need insurance to become a member. Also, we are not a form of insurance.

We do not bill commercial insurance. Many patients keep a high-deductible or catastrophic insurance plan for hospital care, surgery, and specialists, and use our direct primary care membership for everyday medical needs. You can also use HSA/FSA funds for eligible expenses.

Many people with insurance still feel frustrated with their care. Premiums keep going up, deductibles are high, copays add up, networks are narrow, referrals are required, and coverage is often denied for the care you actually want.

Our clinic works differently.

At Northwest DPC & Headache, you pay us directly instead of going through your insurance for primary and headache care. That allows us to:

• Offer simple, flat pricing instead of surprise bills

• Take more time with you at each visit

• Give you shorter wait times and more flexible scheduling

We also have time to help you use your insurance when it makes sense. Many headache and migraine treatments are not well covered or are hard to access, like Botox, nerve blocks, and trigger point injections. We don’t get paid by your insurance, but we can still work with you to try to get coverage when possible and help you navigate those hoops.

Because we are a small, private practice that doesn’t contract with insurance companies, we can keep our prices more transparent and often lower than typical insurance-based clinics for the services we provide.

Most of all, we focus on you—listening carefully, doing a thoughtful exam, and using up-to-date, evidence-based care to build a plan that fits your life. Your visits aren’t rushed, and you’re treated like a person, not a number.
