5 Reasons Why You Should Choose an Independent Healthcare Provider During 2021 Open Enrollment

Last updated August 25, 2020 by Totally Boise

According to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, the average American spent $11,172 on healthcare in 2018. With a 4.6% spending growth, it’s safe to say finding quality care is essential. The physicians and specialists at Independent Doctors of Idaho are dedicated to helping Idahoans find quality care at a lower cost. 

IDID is a group of independent doctors and specialists who put their patients’ needs first and foremost. While hospitals are essential, the conflict between doctors and hospital protocols and rules can be frustrating and unnecessary. Independent doctors use their best judgment when treating their patients.

By choosing an independent physician, patients are also in more control of their medical care needs and decisions. Not sure where to start? IDID has an easy navigation guide on numerous physicians and specialists in Idaho. In addition to easy and secure access to doctors, IDID also offers information on healthcare plans. By providing information on healthcare and doctors, IDID gives patients control of their healthcare needs.
