Frequently Asked Questions

After years in mainstream medicine, Dr. Regan Tilley has opened the clinic she knew she was destined for. A medical home, where clients could come and feel welcome and free to be themselves. This is not a sterile, frightening experience. The focus is on you as a WHOLE person, not a diagnosis, not a number.  Most  traditional family practice docs routinely see over 2000 patients! We have fewer patients so we can provide top-of-the-line care to each and every patient.

Using a direct primary care approach allows your doctor to treat you without the hindrances of insurance. It is closer to way things used to be. Dr. Regan does not have to cater to the computer, the accountants or administration wanting to meet quotas. No "hand on the door" care here. Instead, she passes on savings for members for labs, prescriptions, specialists, and imaging. 

You won't have to pay a co-pay for office visits or routine physicals. Also you'll be able to avoid many visits overall by sending your questions directly to us via email and text –-- something you won't get from a traditional practice. We are able to do a lot of labs, specialty testing, supplements and in-house prescriptions at a lower price. If we had contracts with insurance companies, we would be legally obligated to charge higher prices.

More importantly, since you are getting all this amazing care from us, you can cut  back significantly on your insurance premiums. Most DPC patients find a high-deductible, low-premium insurance plan so they're covered in the case of a major health issue. But for all the rest, we've got you covered!

This includes the following: annual wellness exams, sports physicals, school physicals, chronic care office visits, follow-up visits, basic office procedures and treatment of acute illness or minor injuries, all with minimal wait times in the office.

We do not bill insurance here at WHOLEhealth MHK. There is no force on earth that will persuade Dr. Regan Tilley to work with insurance again. She would rather be a sheep farmer.

We recommend having the appropriate policy for your family and health needs. If you do not have insurance you are welcome here. If you have insurance, you are welcome here. This insurance will be used for those needs that are not provided at WHOLEhealth MHK, such as surgery, specialists, labs and imaging, among other things you are already using insurance for. We just do not bill it. 

Once you are enrolled you will receive a private phone number to contact Dr. Regan, as well as an email to contact nursing staff and Dr. Regan directly, hence DIRECT Primary Care. 

No long holds or bad elevator music here! 

We believe every child deserves to be cared for by a physician. Our stance on vaccines is that they serve a purpose to prevent illnesses in the population. There are situations where the child cannot be vaccinated, or the parents choose a different schedule for vaccines. We are willing to lovingly care for your child no matter their vaccination status. We believe in personal medical autonomy.

I provide well woman exams with labs, pap smear, order for mammography, thermography and pelvic exams. I do not provide maternity care, but am happy to offer non-maternity services for you to support a healthy pregnancy (preconception to delivery), newborn care and breastfeeding support. If your pap comes back abnormal, I refer to a specialist for further evaluation and treatment.
