Direct Primary Care made simple.
Everything you need to know about Direct Primary Care memberships, how they work, and why many patients are choosing this modern model of care.
What is Direct Primary Care?
Direct Primary Care (DPC) is a membership-based healthcare model that removes insurance from routine primary care. Patients pay a simple monthly membership which provides better access, longer visits, and a stronger relationship with their physician.
How is this different from traditional primary care?
Traditional clinics must see large numbers of patients daily because they rely on insurance billing. DPC practices limit patient panels so physicians can spend more time with each patient and provide more personalized care.
Do you accept health insurance?
Direct Primary Care memberships do not bill insurance for primary care visits. However, you can still use your insurance for specialist visits, imaging, hospital care, or medications if needed.
Can I still have insurance?
Yes. Many patients keep insurance or a high-deductible health plan for major medical events while using DPC for everyday care.
What does the membership include?
Membership typically includes primary care visits, preventive care, chronic disease management, wellness guidance, and easier access to your physician.
How quickly can I get an appointment?
DPC practices generally offer same-day or next-day visits for urgent concerns, along with easier communication options for patients.
Can I contact my doctor between visits?
Yes. Members often have the ability to communicate with the practice through secure messaging, phone, or other convenient communication methods.
Is Direct Primary Care affordable?
Most DPC memberships cost less than a typical monthly phone bill. Because the model removes insurance billing overhead, practices can focus on delivering better care at a transparent price.
Do you help coordinate specialist care?
Yes. Your physician can help guide referrals, review results, and coordinate care with specialists when needed.
Is Direct Primary Care right for families?
Many families choose DPC because it offers easier access to care, more time with their physician, and a preventive approach focused on long-term health.
