What is Direct Primary Care (DPC)?Direct Primary Care is like a modern healthcare approach that takes away the fuss. Instead of juggling with insurance for your usual medical needs, you simply pay a direct fee to your chosen primary care doctor. It's as if you have a special pass to your doctor, making your healthcare personal and easy to reach. Picture it like being part of a health and wellness club led by your trusted physician, and it comes with clear, budget-friendly costs. The aim? To simplify and bring transparency to your healthcare expenses.

If I have a good insurance, why would I pay a membership fee?Having health insurance doesn't guarantee you have access to quality healthcare. Insurance can often hinder the doctor-patient relationship when you need a dedicated family doctor. It imposes limitations on your time with the doctor, dictates where and how you receive medical care, and controls the costs through co-payments and high deductibles. Traditional practices, burdened by a high number of patients, often allocate limited time per patient, making you feel like just a number. In contrast, Direct Primary Care (DPC) ensures uninterrupted access to your family medicine doctor without fretting over extra charges for essential services. You're not just a number; you have all the time needed for thorough and personalized care, putting you back in control of your healthcare experience. It's about having unrestricted and meaningful visits with your doctor, fostering a genuine doctor-patient relationship.

How can Direct Primary Care save me money?The great thing about Direct Primary Care (DPC) is that it also helps you save on your health insurance costs. Let me explain how. You can choose cheaper health insurance options that often come with higher deductibles. Many of our members go for these plans and use the money they save on premiums to cover their DPC membership. With DPC, you get unlimited visits, no co-pays, and access to more affordable labs and imaging. The savings really add up, making healthcare more affordable and higher in quality compared to traditional insurance. It's a win-win situation!"

If I'm healthy and only see the doctor once or twice a year, is DPC worth it?Yes, without a doubt!

With Direct Primary Care (DPC), your doctor is there for you, accessible through email, phone, or text. You can snag same-day or next-day appointments, whether you prefer a face-to-face visit or a virtual one.
