Question 11

How many members are you accepting to the program?

Accepted Answer

Beginning January 1, 2026, our +Medical Care Program will be open to a limited number of community-based patients. Community-based patients are those who are not attached to an employer that offers this program as an employer health benefit. If you would like to offer our services to your employees, please contact our office at 256-427-4777 or email info@onsitesafetysolutions.com. (info@onsitesafetysolutions.com.)This program is a great fit for companies big and small with great benefits to improve productivity, increase retention, and improve the overall health of your employees.

Question 12

Do I still need health insurance?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we recommend that you have health insurance. Our +Membership is great for those with high-deductible health insurance. We do not bill insurance for your visits, but you may need your insurance for emergencies, specialist visits, prescriptions, and some labs and imaging. We have agreements with local imaging facilities and can order labs for a very reasonable cash price.

Question 13

Why should I pay you if I have health insurance?

Accepted Answer

For many patients, healthcare still comes down to out-of-pocket costs. Even with insurance, you’re paying monthly premiums plus copays, coinsurance, and high deductibles. For the average patient, those expenses often exceed the cost of our monthly membership. Our model removes the financial barriers that delay care, offering transparent pricing, predictable costs, and direct access to your provider when you need it.

Question 14

Do you offer walk-ins?

Accepted Answer

Yes! Our +Membership is about accessibility and affordability. We offer walk-ins and same day or next day appointments. As part of your +Membership, you will have unlimited in office visits and 24/7 provider access via text/email should you have a concern.

Question 15

Do you offer in office labs?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we have partnered with a third-party laboratory to offer you labs for a very affordable cost. Your yearly +Wellness Exam will include basic labs as part of your membership, however, if specific labs are recommended those are an additional charge, typically 80-90% less than retail price

Question 16

What if I need an x-ray or MRI?

Accepted Answer

We have partnered with local imaging facilities to offer x-rays, MRI, CT scan, and mammogram for an affordable fee. If you have insurance, you can opt to use it for imaging procedures. But if you have a high deductible, it’s usually more affordable to skip insurance and pay directly at our discounted rate.

Question 17

What if my child needs a vaccine?

Accepted Answer

We have limited vaccines in office. We are not setup to administer childhood vaccinations but can work with you to coordinate those if desired.

Question 18

How will I contact the provider after-hours?

Accepted Answer

Every member will be given a phone number and email address to contact the provider during clinic hours or after-hours.

Question 19

Is everything performed in office included in the membership price?

Accepted Answer

All in office procedures are included in your membership price. This includes strep testing, flu testing, injections, urinalysis, laceration repair, ear wax removal, and +Wellness labs. Additional cost may include offsite lab testing for specific bloodwork or other types of screenings.
