Is this more expensive than insurance?
No. And here’s why.
Traditional insurance often costs $400–$800 per month, plus high deductibles and unpredictable bills.
At Deserving of Joy, our pricing is transparent and consistent — no surprise charges. You'll also benefit from reduced rates on common medications and imaging, curated to bring you greater value and peace of mind.
Can I use my HSA to pay for Deserving of Joy?
Yes! Starting in January of 2026, federal regulations permit the usage of a HSA to pay for direct primary care services.
Do I still need insurance?
Yes — and here’s how it works.
Deserving of Joy is not insurance, but rather comprehensive, relationship-based primary care. You'll still need insurance for specialists, prescriptions, and emergencies. Many of our patients choose a high-deductible or catastrophic plan to pair with their membership for added peace of mind.
How many times can I be seen in a month?
These is no limit to how many visits you can have each month. Because we keep our patient panel small, we can provide fast quality care when you need it, usually within 1-2 days! You can also reach out to Dr. Mount directly via texting, email and phone calls, reducing your need to be in the office for small issues.
Is there a Telehealth only option?
No, not at this time. Dr. Mount is currently licensed only in Indiana. Patients have to be seen in clinic at least one time per year in order for prescriptions to be provided. However, after the initial visit, many other issues can be addressed via Telehealth, including texting, email and phone, enabling you to minimize your time in clinic if you desire.
