Frequently Asked Questions
General Questions
The Village Family Medicine is located in White Post, VA, and serves patients throughout the Northern Shenandoah Valley — including Stephens City, Winchester, and Front Royal, VA, as well as Jefferson County, WV (Charles Town, Ranson, and Harpers Ferry) and surrounding communities. Telehealth visits are also available for members who prefer or need to be seen remotely.
Direct primary care (DPC) is a membership-based model of primary care. Instead of billing insurance for every visit, you pay a flat monthly membership fee directly to the practice. That gives you unhurried, same-day or next-day access to your physician, longer appointment times, direct text or call access between visits, and transparent, predictable pricing, without the paperwork and limitations that come with insurance billing. Most members still keep a separate insurance plan for hospitalizations, specialists, and care outside the practice.
Yes. All non-member services can be paid for directly with HSA or FSA funds, since they're qualified medical expenses. A superbill can also be provided upon request so you can submit for reimbursement through your insurance if you have out-of-network benefits.
For DPC membership dues specifically: as of January 2026, new IRS rules allow HSA funds to be used tax-free for direct primary care membership fees, up to $150/month for individuals and $300/month for families. FSA funds are generally not eligible for DPC membership fees, though this can vary by plan. Since HSA/FSA rules depend on your specific plan, we recommend confirming eligibility with your plan administrator or tax advisor before enrolling.
Yes. Home visits are available within a 40-minute one-way radius of the clinic. Home visit fees are based on estimated one-way drive time from our clinic at 120 Storage Solutions Ln, White Post, VA 22663:
0–15 minutes: $150 flat fee per visit
16–30 minutes: $175 flat fee per visit
31–40 minutes: $200 flat fee per visit
Requests beyond this distance may be accommodated on a case-by-case basis. These fees are in addition to per-visit or membership fees.
Direct Primary Care
Membership at The Village is open to everyone! Our niche service offerings particularly benefit young families with children aged 0-5 years old, but everyone can benefit from the improved access, ease, and personalized care DPC offers.
Our membership-model means we can see all patients regardless of your insurance.* Most, if not all, of your primary care needs will be covered by your monthly membership-fee. We do not bill insurance, so you have the flexibility to keep your same doctor regardless of your insurance status!
* Due to federal regulations we are not able to see Medicare patients at this time. Medicare patients can contact us to placed on a wait list to be notified when our services become available.
Yes! DPC is not health insurance. While your primary care needs will be covered via membership, it is important to have coverage for prescriptions, specialist visits, emergencies, and hospitalizations. For young, healthy, individuals, DPC pairs well with lower priced high-deductible plans and health shares for the best cost-savings.
Even if you’re generally healthy, joining DPC gives you a strong relationship with your doctor and easier access when you need it most. Instead of waiting weeks for an appointment or spending hours in urgent care, you can reach me directly for expedited care. Also, longer visits mean we can focus on prevention, wellness, and your personal health goals—not just managing illness.
Many patients with “good insurance” still struggle with rushed visits, surprise bills, and longer wait times. DPC fills that gap by offering time, accessibility, and continuity of care that traditional practices often can’t provide.
No! You can cancel your membership for any reason with 30-days notice. This gives you the flexibility to decide whether our practice is right for you without any long-term commitment.
Members who cancel will be subject to a re-enrollment fee, if they decide to rejoin at a later date.

The Village Family Medicine cares for families with a wide range of healthcare preferences and believes in respectful, evidence-based conversations about vaccines.
Because we also care for newborns, postpartum mothers, and medically vulnerable patients, we take illness exposure seriously. Sick visits are scheduled thoughtfully, often later in the day when appropriate, and our direct primary care model eliminates waiting rooms and minimizes exposure between patients.
The goal is to provide a safe and supportive medical home where every patient is respected. Evidence-based information and vaccine recommendations are shared during well visits. Whether a family chooses full, delayed, or no vaccines, compassionate, comprehensive care is always provided.
At this time, The Village does not administer vaccinations in-office. Families are encouraged to schedule recommended vaccines with the local health department.
Non-members can take advantage of our ancillary services with cash-based pricing. Learn more about the other services we offer here.

Dr. Berry is not a licensed therapist. Many patients have found therapeutic value in supportive listening visits, where they are a offered a judgement-free space to discuss the challenges they may be facing. If additional therapy is needed, we’ll connect you with trusted local counselors and coordinate care.
