“We work in tandem with them, but we aren’t a part of them. We’re a separate entity,” he said, meaning that patients don’t have to be going to Mindsight to be seen by Snow. Congruence in Care offers a variety of disciplines, including primary care, arthritis treatment, weight loss and pharmacogenom- ics (PGx) testing. That last one is a genetic test that, as Snow explained, “looks at the DNA of the patient to see which medications they can ben- efit better from, or for people that have issues with medicine. It just helps narrow down what would benefit the patient and what they should stay away from.” Crowley added, “With the PGx, since I am a clinical pharmacist, we’re the only group in town that actually has a pharmacist on staff that reviews medication usage, so that I can make a recommen- dation based on what [Snow’s] seen.” He continued, “It’s a really use- ful tool for taking the guesswork out of giving medications to a patient.” It is covered by Medicaid and Medicare, but most commercial insurance don’t pay for the test- ing. There are programs that can decrease the cost, they said. As of right now, Crowley and Snow are the only two staff mem- bers of Congruence in Care. Snow said, “We’ve got a plan for if we get busier, but right now we’re just trying to see how we progress.” Crowley explained, “So many businesses open up and hire 15 people, and we’ve got all this staff and then nobody shows up. And we didn’t want to do that. … I wanted to open it up and grow as we could. We’ve got one woman that answers the phones for us remotely, and then I help buffer whatever in-between. We’ve got plans to hire additional staff as we start to grow. We plan on having multiple nurse practitioners and a full staff here in the next little bit.” Crowley told patients to expect to be listened to and given the time they need to explain their symptoms. They don’t “double-book” pa- tients, he said. Most of the time, there is almost no wait to see Snow. Whether the patient calls and makes an appointment, or someone is a walk-in they will do everything they can to see that patient as quickly as possible.
