Is the practice accepting appointments now?
Arteaga Primary Care is starting in Alaska and is currently receiving information inquiries and interest submissions. Enrollment, prices, appointment availability, and launch details will be shared before care begins. Sending interest does not book a visit, enroll you, or establish a provider-patient relationship.
Where is the office, and where can I get care?
There is no physical office. Telehealth serves Alaska residents throughout the state, from Utqiaġvik to Adak, while they are physically in Alaska. Home visits are arranged in the Anchorage area after confirming location and suitability. Workplace visits are arranged separately. Statewide telehealth does not mean statewide home visits.
Can you see children and families?
Yes—the practice’s family care focus includes children, teens, adults, and older adults. Ask about your household and the types of visits you need without including medical information in the interest form. Some pediatric concerns, exams, vaccines, and testing require a local in-person facility.
Can I participate if I have Medicare?
Medicare beneficiaries are welcome to inquire. Medicare does not cover DPC membership fees. Before enrollment, we must confirm the practice’s Medicare status and explain the services, payment arrangements, and any required private contract. An enrolled Medicare provider cannot add membership charges for Medicare-covered services contrary to Medicare rules. Do not assume the membership is billable to Medicare. See Medicare’s guidance.
How much does membership cost?
Individual, family, and employer pricing will be provided before enrollment. The written terms will identify what the periodic fee covers and any separate charges for home visits, travel, supplies, tests, or other services. Sending an information request has no cost and creates no obligation.
Does DPC replace my health insurance?
No. DPC is an agreement for a defined set of primary care services, not health insurance. Keep coverage for emergency care, hospitalization, surgery, specialists, and other services outside the membership. DPC by itself does not provide comprehensive medical coverage.
Can my employer sponsor DPC or arrange screenings?
Yes, employers can discuss sponsoring all or part of a membership and arranging on-site screenings, health education, and appropriate clinical services. Use the employer inquiry option and share your location and approximate workforce size. Services, employee eligibility, privacy, fees, and applicable benefits requirements are confirmed before implementation.
Does after-hours messaging mean immediate 24/7 care?
No. Members receive secure messaging instructions, published response windows, and coverage information. David may be seeing other patients or unavailable outside the coverage periods. For a concern that cannot wait, seek appropriate urgent care; for an emergency, call 911. This public inbox is not a clinical or urgent-care channel.
Can I use telehealth while traveling outside Alaska?
For this service, you must be physically in Alaska at the time of the consultation. An Alaska home address alone does not meet that requirement while you are away. Arrange local care when you are outside Alaska.
Can I use a health savings account for membership?
Beginning in 2026, federal rules allow HSA payment of periodic fees for certain qualifying DPC arrangements. Eligibility depends on the arrangement and individual circumstances. We will clarify whether the final membership qualifies before accepting HSA payments; do not assume every service or charge is eligible. See IRS guidance.
What happens to the information I send here?
Contact details and general service preferences are used to respond to your inquiry and understand interest in the practice. If you choose launch updates, you can ask to stop them by replying to an email. Do not include symptoms, diagnoses, prescriptions, medical records, insurance numbers, or information about someone else’s health. The form is processed by the website’s hosting form service; it is not a secure patient portal.
