A Direct Primary Care practice in Manatee County, FL that accepts Medicare directly and works with PPO out-of-network benefits. Same 30+ minute visits, same-day access, same provider who knows your name.
Most Direct Primary Care practices require a membership fee on top of any insurance you have. If you have Medicare, you typically still pay out of pocket for the DPC experience.
We do things differently. If you have Medicare, you pay $0 in membership fees. We bill your insurance directly and give you the full DPC experience — same-day access, 30+ minute visits, and a provider who actually has time for you.
We accept Medicare directly. $0 membership fee. We bill Medicare for your visits and you get the full Meadow experience — same-day access, long visits, direct provider communication.
We don't bill private insurance directly, but we provide a detailed superbill so you can submit for out-of-network reimbursement. Many patients get significant reimbursement this way.
We'll walk you through your options — whether you have Medicare, PPO, or no insurance at all. No paperwork maze. No 30-minute phone holds.
We keep our patient panel small, so we can see you when you need to be seen. No 3-week waits.
Every visit is 30–60 minutes. Your provider learns your full history, your concerns, your goals. This is not a rushed 7-minute appointment.
Text or call your provider directly for questions. Weekend telehealth support is available. Your care doesn't stop when the office closes.
"Truly the best of the best! Having a primary care provider who actually listens and makes me feel like a person, not just a number, makes all the difference. I couldn't ask for better care."
"There are not enough stars to express how great my experience went! Every time I call or have a question it is answered with grace and concern. Can't find that anywhere else."
"Meriem Richardson was great, she really listens and cares, so glad to have found her!"
Yes. Meadow Primary Care accepts Medicare patients directly with $0 membership fees. We bill Medicare and you receive the full DPC experience.
If your PPO plan includes out-of-network benefits, you may be eligible for reimbursement on your visits. You have two options: join our DPC membership ($59–$119/mo) or use our cash-pay pricing ($125 initial / $75 follow-up). Either way, we provide a superbill after each visit. We partner with Reimbursify to file your claim for free. Please note that reimbursement is not guaranteed and depends on your specific plan benefits.
We do not bill insurance for non-Medicare patients. Instead, we help you access labs and imaging at deeply discounted cash-pay rates through our negotiated partnerships. For medications, we help find the lowest cost options. Many patients find our discounted rates are comparable to or better than their insurance copays.
Traditional primary care providers manage panels of 2,500+ patients, resulting in 3-week waits and 7-minute visits. At Meadow, we keep our panel small so you get same-day access, 30-60 minute visits, and direct text/call access to your provider.
No referral is needed. Simply call or text us at (941) 340-1649 and we will verify your Medicare coverage and get you set up. We serve patients across Bradenton, Lakewood Ranch, Ellenton, Parrish, and all of Manatee County.
