Did you know that between 80-90% of health conditions are preventable, but most clinics, providers and insurance companies focus on the problem, not the person. For me personally, I have experienced extended wait times followed by a rushed 7-minute appointment with my provider. In these appointments I often feel rushed and unheard. By the end of the appointment, I also leave with a prescription, even if that was not the reason for the appointment.
What most do not know is that if a prescription is written the provider can bill a higher rate for the visit. To me, this is insane and unacceptable.
I have personally had appointments with 2 different specialists who did not assess me but billed me as though they did. The out-of-pocket expense was over $500 for each appointment.
I often think, “I am a medical professional and feel this way, but how do others feel with little or no health care experience?” My “why” for leaving traditional health care relates to not agreeing with managing health problems, billing/coding for care that was not rendered and ultimately contributing to exponentially high costs of health care.
I believe healthcare should be affordable and provide individuals with the ability to help people PREVENT health problems NOT just manage them. I am a Nurse Practitioner who has a particular passion for providing holistic, individualized healthcare targeted at improving your state of health but also create a great state of wellness.
I have learned first-hand the importance of prevention-based care, listening and clear communication and believe in the quote from Emily Nogoski, “wellness is a state of action, not a state of being”. I believe in building relationships with participants to help them live their best life. I enjoy empowering participants to optimize how they are feeling and challenge them to strive for more.
My name is Jessica Sabrowsky.
I am a holistically minded Family Nurse Practitioner and I believe health care should focus on the prevention of health conditions, should be accessible and affordable, individualized to the needs of each person.
With Gratitude,
