Your Doctor, Always Available, For A Monthly Fee

Direct Primary Care

5/21/2015

Gold may be the first physician in Massachusetts practicing under a model called direct primary care. For a flat monthly fee, Gold offers patients one-hour same-day appointments, no wait. The doctor is available 24/7 in person, at the office, at the patient’s home, via text, email or Skype.

His fee is a sliding scale based on age. It starts at $30 a month for children age 0 to 21, and caps at $125 for patients 65 years and older. Patients get 12 visits a year. Anything more is a $20-$25 charge.
