Question 3

Can I keep my insurance if I join a direct primary care practice?

Accepted Answer

Yes, and you generally should. Direct primary care is not insurance and is not a health plan; it is a monthly membership that covers your primary care directly with the physician. Keep your insurance for specialists, hospital care, emergencies, imaging and surgery. Many members pair the membership with a high-deductible health plan.

Question 4

What is included in the Lotus Direct Care membership?

Accepted Answer

Unlimited office visits with 30 to 60 minute appointments, same-day and next-day availability, direct contact with Dr. Rosenberg by phone, text and email, chronic disease management, acute illness care, minor procedures and wound care, an annual comprehensive health assessment, prescription management and care coordination with specialists. Lab work is not included in the membership price, but members get wholesale lab pricing.

Question 5

Are there any add-ons to the membership?

Accepted Answer

There are exactly two. Lotus Plus, an enhanced care add-on, is $129 per month with a 6-month minimum. The second is a medication-assisted treatment add-on for buprenorphine care. Other services such as PRP therapy and ketamine therapy are billed separately and are not membership tiers.

Question 6

What kind of doctor is Dr. Aaron Rosenberg?

Accepted Answer

Dr. Aaron Rosenberg, MD is a primary care physician. He holds a full, unrestricted medical license in Wisconsin and sees patients in person at the Mequon office. His practice covers direct primary care, personalized and functional medicine, longevity medicine, weight management including GLP-1 medications, hormone therapy and addiction medicine.

Question 7

How is direct primary care different from a regular doctor's office?

Accepted Answer

A traditional primary care visit averages 7 to 10 minutes and often takes 2 to 4 weeks to schedule. At Lotus Direct Care appointments run 30 to 60 minutes and same-day visits are available. Because insurance is removed from primary care there are no copays, no deductibles for the membership and no billing paperwork, and you contact the physician directly rather than going through staff.

Question 8

Does Lotus Direct Care accept new patients?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The practice keeps a limited patient panel so that appointment length and direct access stay available. You can call (262) 242-0700 to ask questions or arrange a free consultation before joining.
