Paying Out of Pocket? Text a Nurse Practitioner for $59 Flat Fee, No Catches

Hey y’all, let me be real with you for a second.

If you’ve ever dreaded dealing with the healthcare system, you’ve probably done what millions of other Americans do: you put it off. You ride it out. You Google your symptoms at 2 AM and hope for the best. And when things get bad enough, you end up in the ER, where a 15-minute visit costs you $1,000 or more.

I get it. I’m a Nurse Practitioner, and before I started my own practice, I watched this happen over and over again. Good people avoiding care they needed, not because they didn’t want help, but because they thought they couldn’t afford it.

That’s exactly why I started NPCWoods. And here’s the deal: a visit with us costs $59. Flat. $59 flat. No hidden fees. No surprise bills. No paperwork.

Why People Avoid Going In

Let’s call it what it is: the healthcare system wasn’t built for people paying out of pocket. When you’re paying out of pocket:

• You fear surprise bills. We’ve all heard the horror stories: $500 for a 10-minute visit, $200 lab fees that show up weeks later. So you avoid going altogether.
• You don’t know what’s available. Most people think their only options are the ER or a regular clinic, both of which are expensive without a plan.
• You wait too long. That sinus infection turns into something worse. That anxiety builds. That UTI becomes a kidney infection. Waiting doesn’t save you money. It costs you more in the long run.

Here’s the part nobody talks about: roughly 27 million Americans avoid going in because of cost and hassle. You’re not alone, and you’re definitely not out of options.

How Text-Based Telemedicine Changes Everything

At NPCWoods, we do something called async telemedicine. In plain English: you text us, tell us what’s going on, and I treat you, all through your phone. No video call. No waiting room. No scheduling weeks out.

Here’s how it works:

1. Text us at 480-639-4722
2. Tell us what’s going on: your symptoms, how long it’s been, any medications you’re on
3. I review everything and create your treatment plan
4. Prescriptions get sent straight to your pharmacy

That’s it. The whole visit happens on your schedule. No calling in sick to work, no sitting in a waiting room next to someone coughing. And because we don’t have office overhead, we can keep costs low and pass that savings directly to you.

What $59 Actually Gets You

I want to be transparent about this because that’s how I operate: pure transparency, always.

For $59, you get:

• A full visit with a licensed Nurse Practitioner (that’s me)
• Treatment for 50+ conditions: UTIs, sinus infections, anxiety, skin issues, cold and flu, allergies, and more
• Prescriptions sent to your local pharmacy
• Follow-up if you need it
• Zero hidden fees: no membership, no subscription, no paperwork

For comparison:

• Average urgent care visit (out of pocket): $150-$300
• Average ER visit: $1,000+
• NPCWoods visit: $59

I’m not gonna lie. I’m proud of that price point. This is healthcare that actually works for regular people.

We’re Licensed in 11 States

If you live in any of these states, we can see you today:

Especially if you’re in a rural area, I know how hard it can be to find affordable care when the nearest clinic is 45 minutes away. That’s exactly who this was built for.

Taking care of yourself isn’t a luxury. It’s a responsibility. And I don’t think anyone should have to choose between their health and their wallet.

If you’ve been putting something off because of cost or hassle, this is your sign. $59 flat. No hidden fees. No surprise bills. Just care.
