One Team. One Mission. Redefining Healthcare
At THE ARMORY, true health means more than the absence of disease—it’s about how you feel, perform, and live each day. Our mission is simple: to elevate your quality of life through expert, personalized care right here in Columbus, Ohio.
Our Approach: Direct Primary Care
At THE ARMORY, we practice medicine differently. We follow the Direct Primary Care (DPC) model—a simpler, more transparent way to deliver world-class care. Instead of billing insurance for routine visits, our patients pay us directly.
That means:
-
No rushed appointments
-
No billing codes or surprise bills
-
No third-party interference
Just time, trust, and total focus on you.
Our Innovation: Direct Primary Care Plus (DPC+)
Most DPC practices stop at the exam room. We take it further.
Direct Primary Care Plus (DPC+) builds on the same foundation of personalized, relationship-based medicine and integrates it with our in-house fitness, recovery, and sports performance divisions. It’s a complete, proactive health system—connecting your doctor, trainers, and recovery specialists under one roof, with one shared mission: your long-term health, performance, and quality of life.
With DPC+, you gain:
-
Unlimited access to your care team
-
Longer, more personal visits
-
Transparent, predictable pricing
-
Unified medical, fitness, and recovery support
-
A truly proactive approach to prevention and performance
Freedom and Flexibility

How Do I Pay for Medical Care at THE ARMORY?
At THE ARMORY, all medical care is delivered without insurance hassles, hidden costs, or third-party interference. We offer two ways to access care — pay for each visit, test, or treatment as you go with a Medical Session Pass, or choose a Medical Membership for continuous access, preventive support, and a long-term partnership in your health.

How it Works in Real Life
Medical Session Pass vs Medical Membership
Earache or Sore Throat:
Session Pass = Quick visit and treatment.
Membership = Ongoing support if symptoms persist.
ADHD / ADD:
Session Pass = Refill visits as needed.
Membership = Continuous adjustments and direct communication.
Hypertension:
Session Pass = Best for stable cases (1–2 visits per year).
Membership = Regular monitoring and proactive adjustments.
Travel:
Session Pass = Handle urgent issues locally.
Membership = Message your care team; Rx called in anywhere.
Bottom Line: Both deliver excellent care. The Medical Session Pass fits short-term needs. The Medical Membership provides continuous, coordinated support for long-term health and prevention.
What Happens if I Need Medical Care Outside THE ARMORY?
A common question about Direct Primary Care is: “What if I need services outside THE ARMORY, and can I still use my insurance?”
The answer is yes. You keep full freedom of choice with your insurance, your pharmacy, your specialists, and your hospital. We’ve also built partnerships to give you affordable cash-pay alternatives when they make more sense.
Here’s how our approach compares to traditional primary care:
Labs
-
THE ARMORY: We draw your blood on site and send it to the lab that offers the best value based on your insurance or cash-pay preference. If you choose cash pricing, our relationships with major commercial laboratories allow us to pass along steep discounts—for example, a cholesterol panel may be $5–$10 here instead of $80–$120 elsewhere.
-
Traditional Primary Care: Ordered through large labs, with costs tied to insurance contracts and billing codes — often much higher and less predictable.
Imaging (X-ray, MRI, CT, Ultrasound)
-
THE ARMORY: We partner with Imaging facilities to secure affordable MRI, CT, and ultrasound options. You can use your insurance or opt for discounted cash rates — an MRI might cost $650-800 through our referral compared to $2,000+ billed to insurance.
-
Traditional Primary Care: Typically ordered through hospitals or outpatient centers, billed to insurance at much higher sticker prices.
Prescriptions
-
THE ARMORY: Medications are prescribed to the pharmacy of your choice. Through our partnership with Tremont Pharmacy, patients — especially those without insurance — can access cost-effective alternatives, manufacturer discounts, and lower out-of-pocket costs.
-
Traditional Primary Care: Prescriptions are sent to pharmacies, but patients are usually locked into insurance copays or retail pricing, with little cost guidance.
Specialists
-
THE ARMORY: You retain full access to the specialists of your choice. We provide referrals, help identify top providers, and coordinate records and communication in advance to keep your care seamless.
-
Traditional Primary Care: Referrals are provided, but coordination is often minimal or nonexistent.
Hospitalization
-
THE ARMORY: You may choose any hospital you prefer. Hospitalists manage your inpatient care, while our team stays involved, advocates for you, and supports your transition home for true continuity.
-
Traditional Primary Care: Hospitalists typically manage care, but your doctor may or may not be looped in once you’re admitted.
