Frequently Asked Questions About
Agora Health
Do I need health insurance?
We DO recommend carrying some health insurance to protect you in the event of medical emergencies that require referral to the ER or hospital and to cover specialist visits and necessary surgeries not falling within the scope of primary care.
Our services are quite effective at keeping you out of the ER and out of the hospital but emergencies do happen and we recommend you maintain some sort of coverage to help you financially cover emergency care.
Should I cancel my health insurance if I become a member at Agora Health
Membership based healthcare doesn’t take the place of traditional health insurance. Continuing your health insurance can protect you in the event of an emergency or accident. Having both the right kind of health insurance and a membership with Agora Health can save you money every month while keeping you safe from emergency bills.
What is direct primary care?
Is direct primary care insurance?
No. Direct primary care is not health insurance. Direct primary care does not cover you for needs outside of full spectrum primary care. Our services are quite effective at keeping you out of the ER and out of the hospital but emergencies do happen and we recommend you maintain some sort of coverage to help you financially cover emergency care as described above.
