Direct Primary Care

healthcare...reimagined​

Direct Primary Care (DPC) aims to offer healthcare in its most genuine form. For a monthly fee, you receive unlimited access to your doctor.

With DPC, you can easily text or email your medical concerns, schedule same or next-day appointments, and benefit from discounted lab tests and in-house prescription medications. We provide clear pricing for all services, so you’ll always know the cost of labs, medications, and procedures upfront. Unlike traditional family doctors who may manage up to 2,000 patients, we limit our practice to just 500 patients. This smaller panel size ensures you receive the time and attention your health deserves.

While similar to concierge medicine, DPC stands out by offering basic healthcare at an affordable price with no insurance billing involved. By eliminating the need for insurance claims, we reduce overhead costs by 40%, allowing us to offer longer appointments—ranging from 30 minutes to an hour—at a fraction of the typical cost. With Direct Primary Care, we strive to restore the classic doctor-patient relationship without the middleman.

DPC Offers Care That Is:

What Does That Mean For You?

It means you get all-around, complete primary care at an affordable price! Did you know that 80-90% of all health concerns that you have can be managed by a family physician? At Radiant Health Direct Primary Care, you will have access to all the services you would expect in a full-service family practice, plus a few you would not expect elsewhere.

Thao Tran, MD

Dr. Tran immigrated to the U.S. at the age of 2 and began her lifelong journey in healthcare at just 15, when her mother was diagnosed with cancer. After school, she would visit the library, translating medical books so her mother could stay informed about her treatment. This early experience sparked her passion for medicine and helping others.

Dr. Tran spent eight years volunteering at local hospitals before becoming a medical interpreter for two companies. She has been a dedicated parishioner at Sacred Heart Church since 2001, where she has volunteered as a piano/organ player, Vietnamese language teacher, and Bible class instructor. She also started the Health Communication program at the church and has mentored numerous students pursuing careers in medicine.

A Valedictorian of Northridge High School, Dr. Tran received a full-ride scholarship to Wright State University, graduating Summa Cum Laude. She then earned the prestigious Boonshoft Scholars Scholarship, a full-tuition award, to attend the Boonshoft School of Medicine. Dr. Tran completed her residency in Family Medicine at the Medical University of South Carolina, one of the top 25 family medicine programs in the nation, focusing on Academic, Global, and Underserved Health.

Now a mother of three, Dr. Tran is passionate about opening a direct primary care office to restore the doctor-patient relationship and serve her community. In her free time, she enjoys spending time with her family, caring for animals, painting, playing piano, and exploring photography. Her mission is to bring a lifelong commitment to service, hard work, integrity, and excellence to her patients.

Care Philosophy: "Stay humble, care deeply, live joyfully, and share your heart.  I want to use my life to serve."

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQs)

Why Choose Direct Primary Care?

Direct Primary Care (DPC) is a healthcare model that prioritizes easier access to your doctor, longer appointments, and affordable care. Most importantly, it puts patients first, ensuring they receive treatment when needed. With DPC, appointments are never rushed, and doctors take a proactive approach to healthcare. The relationship between doctor and patient is truly direct, just as the name implies.

We also take pride in our price transparency—you’ll always know the cost of a service before it’s performed.

Does Radiant Health Accept Health Insurance?

No—and that’s a good thing.

By not dealing with insurance billing, we avoid the restrictions and rules that come with it. This lets us spend more time with patients and keep wait times to a minimum.

We forgo insurance payments to protect our patients from the arbitrary, intrusive decisions that often come with third-party payers.

Additionally, we save patients money by negotiating lower prices for tests and offering medications from our in-house pharmacy at deeply discounted prices—without the steep markups

As a patient of Radiant Health DPC, should I cancel my health insurance?

No, you shouldn’t!

It’s important to keep insurance for specialists and in case of catastrophic events like cancer, severe infections, or other major illnesses. We advise our patients to maintain a major medical plan for financial protection in case hospitalization or specialist referrals are needed.

If I already have insurance, why do I need to pay a monthly fee for a DPC membership?

Your Direct Primary Care (DPC) membership is not insurance—it’s a subscription that gives you unlimited access to your doctor. With your membership, you get longer visits, same- or next-business-day appointments, personalized care, and no copays or billing headaches. You also receive discounted rates on labs, medications, and imaging. While you can still use insurance for these services, many patients find the cash-based DPC option more convenient and cost-effective for everyday primary care.

What if I don’t have insurance—can I still use DPC?

Yes! A DPC membership gives you affordable, high-quality primary care, even without traditional insurance. Many patients pair DPC with health share programs, which help cover larger medical bills like hospital stays, surgeries, or emergencies that DPC doesn’t cover.

Why health shares can work well with DPC:

– They help cover major medical expenses.
– They are often more affordable than traditional insurance.
– Routine care and chronic condition management are handled through your DPC membership.

– They give flexibility in choosing doctors and hospitals.

– They provide peace of mind for unexpected medical costs.

Important note: Health shares aren’t always the best choice for patients with chronic conditions because:

– Pre-existing conditions may not be covered.
– You may need to reach a monthly or yearly “sharing” amount before coverage starts.
– Some medications, treatments, or specialist visits may have limits.

Some health share options include:

– Sedera Health Share – DPC members get a special discount.
– Medi-Share
– Liberty HealthShare
– Christian Healthcare Ministries

Pairing DPC with a health share gives you everyday care plus protection for larger medical bills, even if you don’t have insurance.

What If I decide to Cancel My Membership?

We guarantee a hassle-free cancellation process—just provide a 30-day written notice.

Is Direct Primary Care the same as concierge medicine?

They are similar, but not the same. Here’s a comparison:

DPC Practices:

  • Patients (or sometimes employers) pay a monthly membership fee
  • Fees cover extended visits, labs, consultative services, care coordination, and comprehensive care management
  • Do not accept insurance or government programs, relying solely on patient fees

Concierge Practices:

  • Charge higher membership fees, paid annually or monthly
  • Fees typically cover an in-depth physical exam and screenings
  • May still accept insurance and government programs, billing insurance for covered services
  • Often cater to higher-income patients
What sets Radiant Health DPC apart from other practices?

We’ve removed bureaucratic obstacles, freeing us from the paperwork that typically bogs down physicians in traditional healthcare settings. This allows us to focus on what really matters: our patients. By preserving the integrity of the patient-physician relationship, we’ve restored family practice to its fundamental values of clinical excellence and compassionate care. We are committed to offering accessibility, convenience, and affordability in every aspect of family and personalized healthcare.

Will I benefit from Direct Primary Care if I don't require frequent medical attention?

Absolutely! We believe everyone benefits from a service tailored specifically to their needs, which is why we offer truly personalized healthcare. Our practice is dedicated to maintaining your well-being and enhancing your daily life through optimal health. We address your immediate needs but also emphasize proactive care.

At Radiant Health DPC, we have the luxury of time—and we’re excited to share that with you. Each visit will be thorough and relaxed, allowing us to address your questions and current needs comprehensively. Over time, we’ll develop a deep, personalized understanding of your health, providing a level of care unmatched by other practices.

If I have Medicare, can I still join Radiant Health DPC?

Yes. You simply need to sign a waiver stating that neither you nor your doctor will directly bill Medicare for our services. However, you can still use Medicare Part A for hospital and nursing home services, and Medicare Part B for non-hospital services not provided at our office.

Can I use HSA funds to pay for my Radiant Health DPC membership? What about FSA funds?
What happens if I need to go to the hospital or see a specialist?

By offering exceptional care and unprecedented access, we aim to prevent or minimize hospitalizations and specialty referrals. If such care becomes necessary, we will work closely with your hospitalist during your hospital stay and coordinate with any specialists involved. Depending on the level of care and expertise required, we may collaborate with these specialized caregivers to manage your treatment effectively.

Can children join Radiant Health DPC?

Yes, we’re pleased to care for families of all ages, from newborns to those over 100.

Can I contact my physician after hours, and if so, how?

Yes! During business hours, you can easily call or text us using our HIPAA-compliant app, which makes communication simple and secure. For non-urgent matters, please reach out during these hours. For urgent needs after hours, Dr. Tran has a 24/7 on-call line you can reach at any time, and she will respond within the hour at the latest. As a mother of three, Dr. Tran understands the importance of balancing professional and personal life, and she strives to provide timely, thoughtful care whenever you need it.

Can I receive care from my doctor while I’m out of town?

Yes! For patients in Ohio (where we are licensed), we can diagnose and treat many conditions via phone, text, or telehealth, and even prescribe medications when appropriate. If you are traveling to a state where we are not licensed, we can still provide guidance, advice, and follow-up support to help you manage your care safely.

Are my medical records ever shared with insurance carriers or pharmaceutical companies?

We uphold strict privacy standards. Since we are not contracted with any third parties, we are never required to share your records unless you specifically request it.
