Free Market Physician is a direct primary care family practice in southwest Missouri with locations in Neosho, Joplin, and Cassville. We provide affordable, high-quality primary care for a low monthly membership fee.

Direct primary care is a healthcare model where patients pay a flat monthly membership fee to have access to their personal physician. This removes the traditional health insurance billing from the equation, making it much more affordable. This also allows physicians to have a direct relationship with their patients, who can contact their physician as needed by call or text. We work for you, not insurance companies.

Your membership includes unlimited office visits. If a follow-up in needed or a chronic condition that needs more frequent care, you shouldn't be charged extra for that. We don't believe you should be charged for every visit. Cell phone calls or texts after-hours are not charged extra either. We want to keep you out of urgent cares and emergency rooms if possible. Some procedures are included as well. The only cost to you is what supplies we use. Your membership includes our time. Members also receive labs and medications at cost.

Each clinic location has a small dispensary of medications. We do not have all the medicines that pharmacies have access to, but we are able to provide most of the medications that our patients need. We can always send prescriptions to a pharmacy of the patient’s choice as well. We do not dispense and generally do not prescribe any controlled medications.

In most cases, labs can be drawn at the time of a visit to the clinic.

It is not. Free Market Physician membership does not cover expenses incurred outside of the clinic such as at the hospital, emergency room, or at specialist offices. We encourage maintaining some sort of insurance coverage to address these expenses. Free Market Physician membership combined with a high-deductible insurance plan or health care ministry plan can often be an affordable and complete combination of products.

We are able to refer to refer you to specialists and help coordinate your care. When prudent, we do our best to keep your care in-house. But if a referral is indicated, we help you select reputable, caring specialists for consultation.

We do not take reimbursement from any form of health insurance. Our freedom and ability to provide healthcare in a manner pleasing to you and us depends on who we accept payment from. We work for whoever pays us. If we take payment from you, we work for you. If we take payment from an insurance company, we work for them. We have chosen to work for you.

We try to be more than a “sick clinic.” We are eager to consult with you on your wellness needs and customize our care to what your needs are. We are here to give you our time: whether that be to address illness or to help you develop an exercise and diet plan. We are here to give you our time as you need us.

As family practice physicians, we can see patients of any age. Seeing all members of a family helps us understand each family member better and know how to best provide care for them. We hope to see your entire family.

We charge $90 per month for each enrolled adult and $45 per month for each enrolled child. The most we will charge for a family is $270 per month. We also offer a discounted rate for businesses. Please see the pricing page for detailed pricing info.

Our intent is to have long-term relationships with our patients- to get to know you well and take care of you well. Our membership services are contingent on a one year contract.
