Patrick Rohal, MD, FAAFP

Patrick Rohal, M.D. runs CovenantMD, his solo Direct Primary Care practice in Lancaster. Rohal built the practice around restoring the relationship between doctor and patient, working directly with people rather than through an insurance company.

The model is straightforward. Patients contract directly with Rohal for their care, paying him rather than routing everyday visits through insurance, and save that insurance for the bigger, less predictable medical needs. It is a return to a more direct kind of primary care, with Rohal himself as the physician patients see.
