If one of our patients were to design a medical care program, they would design it from THEIR perspective, using THEIR preferences. Our patients would want a REAL doctor, with a tremendous depth of experience who focused on THEIR needs, and helped solve THEIR medical problems. Our patients would want their appointments to be easy and quick to schedule, without long waits. They would want empathy and support, time for real conversations, and know that they have been listened to and understood. And, our patients would want a pricing structure that they and their family can afford, representing REAL value.
WellCraft Health’s MyPreference™ professional medical care program is all that, and more. We contract directly with our patients for their medical care and do not participate in any health insurance network or governmental program. Each of Dr. Carol Rupe’s patients have Dr. Rupe’s cell phone number to text or call when they are not feeling right. Through easier access, earlier intervention, patient advocacy, and proactive lifestyle changes, WellCraft Health hopes to reduce the need for extensive specialty physician referrals and expensive Emergency Room visits or hospitalization.
MyPreference™ provides custom crafted, personal medical care that is tailored for the needs of every individual. As we grow WellCraft Health, we will be adding additional physican partners with additional skill sets that will enrich our program for the benefit of others. We will add additional diagnostics and capabilities to augment those available from local specialty medical offices and regional hospital systems.
In comparison with insurance driven medical care, MyPreference™ is a value-packed, premium quality medical care program, serviced by Dr. Carol Rupe, a veteran family physician.

The Value of Prevention
There are many ways to calculate cost. The immediate expenses are those you can see and count in dollars like health insurance premiums, annual deductibles, and the cost of medical visits. Deferred expenses, attributed to the development of chronic diseases over time, can add eight to twenty thousand dollars per year in additional medical expenses.
What value can be assigned to the loss of your strength and mobility? Your eyesight? Your pain and suffering? We don't often think about this when we are thinking about healthcare. But really, this is where we should begin. We need to place our emphasis on value. Having more time to enjoy friends and family has value. Being able to breathe more freely has value. So does, being able to enjoy activities like fishing, reading, traveling, or going to church. What value is attending your daughter's wedding or the joy of playing with your grandkids? This is where our focus needs to be - living better lives through better health. This is the value MyPreference™ brings to Dr. Carol Rupe's patients.
MyPreference™ is not health insurance. Dr. Carol Rupe does not participate in any health insurance network or government program. But, having Dr. Rupe as your personal family physician and participating in her MyPreference™ program, along with making progress on your custom health objectives, can significantly reduce your risk of developing most, non-age dependent chronic diseases. Participating in MyPreference™ now, can significantly improve the quality of your life and save you tens of thousands of dollars on medical care in the years ahead. The monthly cost of MyPreference™ is only a cell phone bill for an individual, or a cable bill for a family of four.
How does it work? Dr. Carol Rupe's patients sign an annual agreement to participate in her MyPreference™ program. The monthly enrollment fee and any medical visits, if necessary, are invoiced for greater financial flexibility. Dr. Rupe tries to solve many medical problems by phone if she can. WellCraft Health™ includes clinical diagnostics and a limited number of medications and injectables at no extra charge. WellCraft Health forwards your insurance information to LabCorp for lab work, and to your pharmacy of choice for medications. We strive to work with the "Best of the Best" in specialty care and hospitalization.
