What Is Direct Primary Care?
Direct primary care (DPC) is a patient-centered practice model where individuals pay a monthly membership fee directly to their primary care provider, eliminating reliance on traditional health insurance for routine medical care.
This direct primary care model means:
- Transparent monthly membership fees with no hidden costs
- No billing through an insurance company
- Same-day or next-day appointments
- More time with your physician
- Comprehensive primary care services included
- Direct communication with your doctor
Our direct primary care practice operates outside of traditional insurance systems, allowing each DPC physician to prioritize patient-centered healthcare. Many DPC patients choose to pair their membership with high-deductible plans or options under the Affordable Care Act for major medical coverage.
