Most of what brings people to a primary-care office can be handled here, by a provider who knows you, without a copay for included visits.
One membership fee covers your everyday, preventive, and ongoing primary care. The exact list is in your membership agreement. This is the plain-language version.
Labs, medications, imaging, outside specialist services, and select in-office procedures or testing are not included in the membership fee and are billed separately. Members receive preferred or discounted rates when available.
Not a complete list. If you don’t see your concern here, ask us at your Meet & Greet.
Heart and lung conditions are managed alongside your specialists. Care for mild to moderate anxiety, depression, and ADHD means evaluation and medication management within primary-care scope; we refer out for therapy, formal testing, and complex psychiatric care. Concerns such as weight, menopause symptoms, or low energy can be evaluated here, and ongoing specialty treatment for those is separate from the membership.
Why a regular provider matters. About 115 million American adults have prediabetes, and 8 in 10 of them don’t know it. Most chronic conditions are quiet at first, which is why routine screening with someone who knows you is worth having. Source: CDC
Available when medically appropriate and within the scope of your care.
*Pathology is billed by the lab. Select procedures may carry an additional member fee. Supplies, devices, and medications used with a procedure may be billed separately, and we tell you the cost first. We remove stitches but don’t place them; a cut that may need stitches should be seen at urgent care.
Point-of-care testing is billed separately at a discounted member rate.
Pathology and lab processing for screening tests are billed by the lab.
About labs. Ordering your labs, drawing blood here, and reviewing your results are part of the membership. The laboratory’s own charge for running tests is separate. We’ll share that price before ordering whenever possible.
Full-body imaging, advanced lab panels, and performance testing are not part of a Direct Primary Care physical. They are part of the Elite Wellness + Primary Care Plan, Venture’s executive health plan, which is by application only.
Included visits have no per-visit copay. Your membership agreement lists exactly what is included. If a concern is better handled by message, a visit, or a referral, we’ll tell you which.
Yes, from age 2, when an adult in the same household is also a member. Vaccines aren’t given here; we’ll tell you what’s due and keep school and camp forms current.
Yes, from age 2, when an adult in the same household is also a member. Vaccines aren’t given here; we’ll tell you what’s due and where to get them.
We coordinate the referral and review what comes back. The specialist or imaging center bills you or your insurance directly, which is one reason we encourage members to keep health insurance.
Yes. Members have direct text and phone access to their primary care provider during business hours, plus a secure, encrypted patient portal. Many concerns can be handled by message; when something needs a closer look, we book a visit. Messaging isn’t for emergencies. Call 911.
Yes. Medication cost consultations are part of the membership. We help you find lower-cost options, local and wholesale medication resources, and manufacturer assistance programs when available, and we handle prior authorizations for eligible medications when you use insurance. The medications themselves are billed separately.
In-office procedures such as ear wax removal, skin tag and wart removal, joint injections, and EKGs are available when medically appropriate. Select procedures, and rapid tests such as strep, flu, COVID-19, mono, urine, and pregnancy, are billed separately at a discounted member rate, and we tell you the cost first.
Your provider can evaluate these as part of your overall health and order routine testing. Ongoing hormone therapy and weight-loss medication programs are separate Venture programs, explained and priced before anything begins.
We care for patients from Midlothian, Richmond, Chesterfield County, Bon Air, Powhatan, and Chester, and across the greater Richmond area. Visits are in person at our Midlothian office, and by telehealth when it’s clinically appropriate.
