What is Direct Primary Care?
​Direct Primary Care (DPC) is a healthcare model that bypasses traditional health insurance, aiming to provide more personalized and accessible care. Here's how it works and why it's different:
​
Key Features of DPC
​
-
Membership-Based Fees: Patients pay a monthly fee that covers a range of primary and preventative care services.
​
2. No Insurance Billing: DPC practices do not bill insurance for services, reducing administrative burdens and costs.
​
3. Longer Appointments: Providers typically spend more time with patients, offering thorough consultations that might last 30–60 minutes or more.
​ 4. Improved Access: Patients often have same-day or next-day appointments, direct communication with their doctor via phone, text, or email, and shorter wait times.
​5. Transparent Pricing: Fees are straightforward and often include common services like office visits, basic lab tests, and routine procedures. Additional costs for medications, imaging, or specialist referrals are usually at wholesale or discounted rates.​​​​
