About Assurance Healthcare & Counseling Center
We opened our doors January 1st, 2014, as one of the leading Direct Primary Care practices in Washington State.
Co-owners Richard Edgerly, MD, Jason Larsen (CEO), and Holly Porter, LMHC started Assurance Healthcare & Counseling Center with the purpose of freeing providers from the misaligned incentives of the fee-for-service, insurance-based system and to help re-establish the relationship between physician and their patients.
Our goal as a clinic is to provide incredible, accessible medical and mental health care to members. We seek to prevent our members from being taken advantage of in a complicated and confusing healthcare system. We do that through transparency in pricing (anything we charge outside of membership is near or at our cost), and as much is within our training and scope we do in our clinic rather than through referrals.
We are a small, efficient team. We currently operate with two physicians, one physician assistant, two mental health counselors, two front office staff, two back office staff, a clinic manager and a CEO.
Since we value patient-provider contact, we do not utilize the services of nurses or medical assistants, but have providers get patients from our waiting area and see them through the end of the exam. Medical providers can expect to become very efficient in charting, as we do not require any insurance-based codes or systems (no ICD-10 codes, no diagnosis codes, no MIPS, etc.). Once acclimated to charting for the purpose of patient care, our providers spend around 3-5 minutes charting per patient.
We look forward to hearing from you.
