- Primary CareDirect Contract Primary Care Option The Direct Contract form of reimbursement is becoming a very popular method of primary care financing as insurance billing and reimbursement becomes increasingly more complex and cumbersome. With the direct contracting model, the physician and the patient establish a direct financial relationship outside of his or her insurance, and all costs for primary care visits are covered by one fixed annual fee. The PPMG Direct Contracting option allows patients to have unlimited access to their primary care physician for all their primary care needs for a very reasonable annual fee. This convenient and inexpensive option covers all services received from our office including physician visits and in-office ancillary services. Our office will not require co-pays or deductibles, will not send an insurance claim or bill the patient for any of these services.

- RadiologyLaboratory, Radiology and Other Diagnostic Tests Non-office based laboratory tests, radiological services and most other ancillary services are separately billed by the source of the service, usually UCLA Healthcare, Quest, Tower Imaging or Providence/St. John's. These entities are contracted with most all health plans. You will receive separate statements and bills for these services that are not part of your fiscal relationship with the PPMG.
