Direct Primary Care
Direct Primary Care (DPC) is an innovative healthcare model where physicians partner with their patients to provide primary care services under a flat, periodic membership fee. By moving outside of the administrative burdens of the traditional insurance-based billing system, DPC practices are able to provide a wide spectrum of care in a transparent, affordable manner. DPC practices—now a grassroots movement numbering over 1000 nationwide—are able to do this while offering patients a higher level of service, communication, and relationship, than what is often found in our dysfunctional healthcare system.
Direct Primary Care (DPC) is a common-sense model that takes the practice of medicine back to its roots. Direct Primary Care takes insurance companies and bureaucracy out of the doctor/patient relationship. How? We do not accept health insurance of any kind. That means less stress, less paperwork, and less interference. In return, you will have no co-pays, more relaxed visits, more flexibility, more time with your doctor, and more ways to access your doctor – including texting, video conferencing, email, phone calls, or traditional office visits. You get this all for a monthly fee – it’s like a gym membership.
