Dr. James is among a growing number of doctors who no longer accept insurance due to increased costs. Instead, his practice charges clients a monthly fee for unlimited visits and procedures with no co-pay. This health care model has gained momentum in response to waste and frustrations with health care delivery systems. In the last year alone, his patient numbers have tripled.
