About Natalie Iverson APRN FNP-C
I am a highly experienced and dedicated Family Nurse Practitioner with over 30 years of progressive experience in nursing. Starting as a Licensed Practical Nurse and advancing through a Master’s degree in Nursing, I have developed a comprehensive skill set across various specialties including Pediatrics, Skilled Nursing, Cardiac, Med/Surgical, Emergency Medicine, and Internal Medicine. My career has been marked by a commitment to providing exceptional patient care, evidenced by my transition to an Independent Family Nurse Practitioner. I am currently focusing on launching an in-home family practice, leveraging my extensive clinical expertise and patient-centered approach to deliver high-quality, personalized care in a home setting. This will help my ability to adapt to diverse clinical environments, drive practice growth, and improve patient outcomes.
When I am not focused on my patients, I enjoy spending time at home with my husband, talking with my three kids, looking forward to moments with my two grandchildren, and taking care of the farm animals. My greatest passion is my faith in God, who has guided me through life’s journey's and blessed me with a heart for people, just as He has.

Common
Questions
Since my mainstream insurance covers Primary Care, why should I also pay my primary care doctor out of pocket?
-
I am dedicated to ensuring Primary Care is:
-
Affordable: With over a decade in the field, I have seen the increasing gap between service costs and insurance coverage.
-
Accessible: At Saved by Grace, you won't face penalties for bringing up medical concerns during your annual physical. No more long hold times or being scheduled with unfamiliar providers.
-
Patient-Centered: You'll always have direct access to your provider at every visit. Enjoy discounts on lab work, medications, and imaging studies. I use my industry expertise to find affordable ways to connect you with the care you need.
-
The way Primary Care should be: Affordable, personalized, and focused on you.
What about services that my mainstream insurance DOES cover?
-
Insurance Encouragement: I strongly recommends that my patients have insurance to cover unexpected events, specialist care, and emergency department and hospital expenses.
-
Insurance-Covered Services: I may order services such as colonoscopies, etc.
-
Cost-Effective Care: Typically, the cost to you is the same as visiting a primary care provider who bills insurance. However, you might find that Saved By Grace offers even more affordable rates on lab work, imaging, and medications through their negotiated rates.
-
Why Insurance Matters: Ensuring you have insurance provides a safety net for unexpected health needs while benefiting from the cost-effective, personalized care at Saved By Grace.
Is Direct Primary Care insurance?
-
Direct Primary Care is not insurance.
-
Saved By Grace recommends that each patient carries insurance, or have a plan for covering unexpected expenses such as specialist co-pays, emergency visits, and hospitilization.
Is Direct Primary Care a type of Concierge Medicine?
-
Saved By Grace keeps our costs low, by avoiding unnecessary expenses in working with insurance companies.
-
Because most concierges practice bill insurance, they require higher overhead for billers, coders, pre-authorization specialists, etc. They, in turn, pass these costs on to their patients.
-
Direct Primary Care is an affordable, patient-centered approach that cuts out the middle man, and saves you money.
