Meriem Richardson.
MSN, APRN, FNP-BC · Founder & provider
Meriem spent years in high-volume, insurance-driven primary care, where a 7-minute appointment made real care impossible. She left to build the practice she always wished existed.
At Meadow, you get her time, her cell, and a provider who actually knows you. That’s the whole idea.

My wife and I were initially intrigued by the website claim of Old School Medicine Modern Touch and that is exactly what this practice is.
I just moved here from California and was so worried about finding good care. They answer their own phones, remember who you are and give such great care!
Meriem wants her patients to know that they matter, and that she will do everything in her power to help. She is a rockstar.

What is Direct Primary Care?
A membership model: you pay a flat monthly fee for unlimited primary care, including same-day visits, 30–60 minute appointments and direct text access to your provider, with no copays or insurance billing.
Do I still need insurance?
DPC covers your primary care, but it isn’t insurance. We recommend pairing your membership with a catastrophic or high-deductible plan for hospital, ER and specialist coverage.
How does it work if I’m on Medicare?
We bill Medicare directly like any primary care practice, with standard Medicare rules (copays after deductible). Medicare patients aren’t part of the DPC membership, but are seen by Meriem in the same practice.
What does it cost?
$59/mo for kids (2–25), $119/mo for adults (26+) and $199/mo for couples or a single parent with up to 2 children, and $289/mo for a family of four. $0 enrollment, 90-day commitment, then month-to-month.
Can I get a same-day appointment?
Yes. Same-day and next-day appointments are standard for members, plus direct text access and statewide Florida telehealth between visits.
Can I use my HSA or FSA?
Yes. Memberships are HSA and FSA eligible and fit under the 2026 limits of $150 a month for an individual and $300 for a family.
