About Heart In Healthcare

What Makes Heart In Healthcare Different from other practices in Alabama?

There are a lot of things we approach differently when it comes to your care. First, our practice operates on membership fees instead of insurance. This means you'll have a set cost for personalized primary care. For healthcare services that aren't covered by your membership (such as labs), we offer cash prices that will be discussed with you before any treatment. This gives you further control over what you pay. Second, your care at our practice is personalized. An insurance company algorithm doesn't decide how we manage your care. We will get to know you and make recommendations based on your individual needs. To make that possible, we offer longer appointment slots than traditional primary care practices. Finally, you get direct access to your primary care doctor at our practice. This means being able to communicate with your doctor via call, text, or e-mail for simple questions. It also means being able to schedule a same-day or next-day appointment when you need it (as available). You're a priority to use and you'll feel like one.

Will I get personalized care at Heart In Healthcare?

Yes, that's the only kind of care we offer! You're a unique person with individual healthcare needs, so we believe our treatment plan should reflect that. Dr. Blalock practices in a direct primary care setting because it gives her time to build a relationship with you and craft primary care solutions designed for you.

Will I benefit from a Heart In Healthcare membership if I don’t require frequent medical attention?

Of course. We might argue that everyone benefits from a service tailored directly to them. That's why we offer truly custom healthcare. Our practice is devoted to the maintenance of your good health and the enhancements of your daily experience that only physical well-being can bring. We're here for your reactive needs. But proactive healthcare is important, and we're here for that too.

Members may be eligible for a home visit when that is deemed necessary by the physician and the patient is within 15 miles of the practice location. In these cases we are able to do a home visit for a follow-up or acute visit. One unique benefit of our practice is the direct access you'll have to your doctor.
