First Primary Care

About First Primary Care

What is First Primary Care?

First Primary Care is a direct primary care membership practice. Love Health DPC is now part of First Primary Care (FPC), and it names offices in Doylestown and Fort Washington, Pennsylvania. It does not publish a street address for either office. Its named prescribers are Chloe Ruschmeyer, FNP-C, and Dana Mincer, DO.

It offers weight management and low testosterone treatment, along with annual physicals, routine labs, birth control, mental health support, and care for conditions such as diabetes, sleep apnea, acid reflux and asthma. It does not list peptide therapy or longevity medicine. Same-day or next-day virtual appointments are offered. The phone number is (346) 340-9848. Its hours are Monday to Thursday, 8:30 AM to 4:30 PM, but it does not say which office those hours cover.

Much of its written material is about a Houston practice, including a Houston-based physician, so confirm which office would be yours. Its Google rating is 5, from 21 reviews.

What does it cost?

It does not bill insurance. It does not publish its monthly membership fee or a consultation fee. One line gives the cost as about $60 to $80 for about a three month supply, without naming the medicine. In its own words: "One Transparent Monthly Membership Rate: No insurance billing. No hidden costs."

It describes its membership as no-commitment. It does not publish cancellation terms or mention HSA or financing options.

What should you ask before you book?

Ask which office you would be seen at and what its street address is, since the Pennsylvania address is not published. Ask whether the membership covers medication, and what the $60 to $80 figure buys. Ask which weight loss medicines it prescribes, whether they are brand-name or compounded, and what they cost. It names none and publishes no price for one. Ask who signs the prescription, and whether Chloe Ruschmeyer, FNP-C or Dana Mincer, DO see weight loss and testosterone patients. Ask whether virtual visits are offered in your state, since it does not say which states telehealth covers. Finally, ask what labs, follow-up visits and medication cost beyond the membership, and how to cancel.

Who is it a good fit for?

This is a good fit if you want primary care on a monthly membership rate and you can confirm the office, the prescriber and the full cost before you pay. It is a weaker fit if you need a published price list or a street address before you call.
