About Direct Primary Care
Direct Primary Care is a membership-based model where you pay a monthly fee directly to your doctor for unlimited access to primary care, bypassing insurance for office visits.
It provides personalized, comprehensive care with longer, unhurried appointments, same/next-day access, and 24/7 virtual communication, focusing on building a direct doctor-patient relationship.

Key Points
​
Simple Pricing
A flat monthly or annual membership fee covers most primary care services, including check-ups, sick visits, and preventative care, with no co-pays,co-insurance or deductibles.
​
​
​​
Enhanced Access to Comprehensive care
Patients enjoy direct access to their physician via phone, text, or email, alongside longer, more comprehensive, and unhurried appointments. Services include routine, preventative, and chronic disease management.
No Insurance Billing*
DPC practices do not bill insurance for their services, which cuts out administrative costs, allowing for more personalized care. The provider has more freedom in how they practice, able to do teleheatlh or phone calls easily rather than having to see everyone in the office to bring in revenue.

* Note that Direct Primary Care is not a substitute for insurance. It is recommended that patients maintain a separate, high-deductible policy for emergencies, hospitalizations, or specialist visits
