What is Direct Primary Care (DPC)?

Direct Primary Care is a membership-based healthcare model where you pay a flat monthly fee for comprehensive primary care services. This eliminates the need for insurance billing and allows for more personalized, accessible care.

​

How is DPC different from traditional primary care?

Traditional practices often rely on insurance billing, which can limit time with patients and create unnecessary complexity.

With DPC, you’ll experience:

• No copays or deductibles for covered services

• Longer, unrushed visits

• Same-day or next-day appointments

• Direct access to your provider

​​

Who benefits most from a DPC membership?

DPC can be beneficial for just about anyone but may be especially helpful for:

• Adults with high-deductible insurance plans, catastrophic only coverage, or group cost-share plans

• individuals who split time living between multiple states

• People who want more time and access to their PCP

• Those seeking predictable healthcare costs

• Small business owners or self-employed individuals

• Patients managing chronic conditions who need ongoing care

​​

Do you accept insurance?

We do not bill insurance for primary care services. This allows us to keep care simple, transparent, and focused entirely on you—not on insurance requirements. You can still use your insurance for things such as medications and imaging we order. You can also still use your insurance for labs we order when done through an outside lab

​

Can I still have insurance and be a member?

Yes. While you do not need to have insurance to become a patient, many patients choose to pair their membership with insurance or a health sharing plan to cover services like hospitalizations, specialists, or emergencies.

​

Can I use my HSA or FSA to pay for my membership?

Yes, Health Savings Accounts (HSA) can be used for DPC memberships.
 

What services are included in the membership?

Your membership is designed to cover most of your primary care needs, including:

• Unlimited office visits with no additional co-pays

• Preventive care and annual exams

• Chronic disease management

• Same-day or next-day appointments

• Direct communication with your provider

• Basic included labs and access to discounted labs ​

​​

Are there any additional costs?

Your membership covers most primary care services without additional fees. While there may be additional services available, such as more in-depth lab-work, you will not be billed without advance notification and pricing.

​

How does DPC work for small businesses or employers?

Direct Primary Care is a powerful, cost-effective benefit for small businesses.

Employers can:

• Cover all or part of an employee’s membership

• Offer DPC alongside a high-deductible health plan

• Provide employees with faster access to care and fewer missed workdays

​

Can I cancel my membership?

Yes. Memberships are typically month-to-month with no long-term commitment

​

Can kids become patients?

Only adults 18+ can become patients
