Insurance-driven rheumatology care often involves long wait times, complex paperwork, and unclear costs, delaying treatment for autoimmune diseases. Direct Specialty Care (DSC) offers faster access, transparent pricing, longer visits, and consistent care with one rheumatologist; leading to better outcomes and patient satisfaction.

Autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, and psoriatic arthritis cause chronic inflammation when the immune system attacks the body. Although there’s no cure, achieving remission is possible through a combination of medical treatments, anti-inflammatory nutrition, regular exercise, and effective stress management.

Autoimmune disease advocacy plays a vital role in improving patient care, expanding access to treatments, and advancing critical research. By raising awareness and engaging with policymakers, patients and caregivers can drive meaningful change that leads to better outcomes and increased support for the autoimmune community.
