Questions people ask

Concierge medicine in Dayton, explained

What is concierge medicine?

Concierge medicine is a membership model where you pay your doctor a set fee for a higher level of access and time, instead of care being driven by insurance billing. Members typically get longer visits, same or next-day appointments, and the ability to reach their physician directly.

Simplicity Health offers this in its most straightforward form, called direct primary care, where you pay one flat monthly fee and we do not bill insurance for your visits.

What is the difference between concierge medicine and direct primary care?

They are close cousins. Both are membership practices built around more time and direct access to your doctor. The main difference is billing and price.

Traditional concierge practices usually charge a higher annual retainer and still bill your insurance for visits, while direct primary care charges a flat monthly fee and does not bill insurance at all. Simplicity Health is a direct primary care practice, which keeps things simpler and is why we are competitively priced compared to other concierge practices.

How much does concierge medicine cost in Dayton?

Simplicity Health is competitively priced compared to other concierge practices in the Dayton area. Membership is a flat monthly fee with no copays for your visits, and it usually qualifies for HSA and FSA reimbursement.

To see what a full year of care would look like for you, including labs and medications, use our cost calculator.

Do I keep my insurance?

Yes, and most of our members do. Your insurance stays exactly as it is. We simply do not bill it for your visits with us.

Members keep insurance for the things a membership does not cover, like hospital stays, ER visits, specialists, and surgery. Membership fees are usually HSA and FSA eligible, and Medicare patients can still use Medicare for outside labs and medications.

What do I get as a member?

Membership gives you unhurried visits of 30 to 60 minutes with your own physician, same or next-day appointments when you need them, and direct access to your doctor by phone, text, or email.

It also includes an in-house pharmacy that dispenses common medications at wholesale prices, LabCorp lab work at cash prices up to 95% below typical hospital rates, and deeply discounted imaging.

Who are the doctors at Simplicity Health?

Simplicity Health has four physicians: Drs. Opperman, Butler, Wenzell, and Marton, practicing internal medicine and family medicine. Dr. Charles Opperman founded the practice in Centerville in 2020.

Each physician keeps a small patient panel on purpose, which is what makes the longer visits and direct access possible.

Where are you located and what areas do you serve?

Simplicity Health is at 200 East Spring Valley Pike, Suite A, in Centerville, Ohio. We care for patients throughout the greater Dayton area, including Centerville, Kettering, Springboro, Bellbrook, Beavercreek, and Miamisburg.

How do I become a patient?

Start with a free 30-minute meet and greet, so you can see the practice and decide if it is a good fit with no pressure to join. You can request a visit online or call the office at (937) 813-2124.

New patient spots can fill up, so if there is a wait, we will get you in as soon as we can.

Is concierge medicine worth it?

For people who are tired of rushed visits, long waits, and never being able to reach their doctor, it usually is. You are paying for time and access: a physician who knows you, answers you directly, and has room in the day to actually help.

Because our labs, medications, and imaging are priced so far below the usual rates, many members find the membership largely pays for itself.

How do I choose a concierge doctor in Dayton?

Look at four things: how many patients each physician carries, whether pricing is clear and published, who you actually see when you call, and how you reach the doctor after hours. Small panels and transparent pricing are the difference between a membership that feels personal and one that does not.

We publish our prices, keep our panels small, and give every member direct access to their own physician.

Does membership cover children and families?

Yes. Children have their own membership tier, and we care for the whole family. Many households join together so everyone has the same direct access to a physician who knows them.
