About Long Life DPC

What is Long Life DPC?

Long Life DPC is a direct primary care clinic at 2150 S. Douglas Blvd, Suite A, in Midwest City, Oklahoma. Patients pay a monthly membership for routine care instead of billing insurance. The clinic lists five services: primary care, metabolic disease management, prenatal care, acute care, and the Intensive Metabolic Disease Program. Primary care is the core of the practice, and the weight program is one service among several.

John Long, Jr., MD, lists board certification in family medicine and obesity medicine. Robin GonZalez, MD, lists board certification in family medicine and geriatric medicine. Julia Britton, BSN, RN, is a registered nurse on staff. Google shows a 5 rating from 10 reviews.

The Intensive Metabolic Disease Program runs six months. It includes remote patient monitoring, clinic visits, remote visits, group sessions, and labs for metabolic evaluation. Its stated focus covers excess weight gain, diabetes, chronic inflammatory disease, reproductive issues, and neurologic conditions. No medication is named for it. Virtual visits are included in membership, and the clinic does not publish its hours.

What does it cost?

Membership is billed monthly. Adults ages 21 to 65 pay $79 a month. Pediatric membership, for newborn to age 20, is $49 a month. Seniors over 65 pay $99 a month. Family plans are $189 a month for two adults and one child, or $169 a month for one adult and two children, plus $29 for each additional child.

Prenatal care costs $1800 for a vaginal delivery and $2100 for a caesarean delivery, and individualized payment plans are possible. The Intensive Metabolic Disease Program is listed at 1600 for the full six months, with no dollar sign shown. Labs are priced at wholesale contract rates, such as $3 for a complete blood count, $5 for testosterone, and $400 for an MRI.

The clinic does not publish a consultation fee, a cancellation policy, or whether it accepts HSA funds or financing. In its own words: "Since we don't bill insurance, we are able to take everyone."

What should you ask before you book?

Ask who writes and signs the prescriptions, and whether you will see the same physician at each visit. Ask whether any medication is included in the 1600 program, which drug it would be, and whether it is brand-name or compounded. Ask whether membership covers prescriptions or only visits, and what medications would cost you at wholesale prices.

Ask what labs and follow-up visits cost on top of the program fee, and whether the remote monitoring requires equipment you would need to buy. Senior membership says benefits are provided at no extra charge when Dr. Gonzalez is not available, so ask how coverage works on those days. Finally, ask how cancellation works for membership and for the program, whether any refund applies if you leave early, and what the clinic's hours are.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you want one practice for everyday care on a flat monthly fee and you are prepared to pay cash without insurance. It is a weaker fit if you are looking for a named weight loss medication, since none is listed, or for hormone therapy, which the clinic only plans to add, or peptide and longevity care, which it does not list.
