About Essence
A New Kind of Primary Care
Essence Health and Wellness is remodeling healthcare for affordability and accessibility. As a Direct Primary Care (DPC) clinic, we replace confusing insurance billing with one simple monthly membership, giving you unlimited visits, same- or next-day appointments, and unhurried time with your provider.
There are no copays and no deductibles. You keep your insurance for outside costs like imaging, hospitalizations, and ER visits, while your everyday care, plus on-site low-cost labs and pharmacy, stays refreshingly simple.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need insurance to join Essence?
No. Your membership covers your primary care directly: unlimited visits with no copays or deductibles. We do recommend keeping insurance for things outside the clinic, like imaging, hospitalizations, and ER visits.
Is there a minimum commitment?
Yes. Memberships start with a three-month minimum, then continue month-to-month. Good primary care is a relationship, not a one-time visit, and three months gives us time to actually know you and your health. If life changes, talk to us. We’re reasonable people.
What if I need a specialist or imaging?
We coordinate your referrals and follow up on results, and our on-site labs and pharmacy keep everyday testing and medications low-cost.
Can I use my HSA or FSA?
Yes. Memberships are HSA/FSA eligible.
