What is Direct Primary Care?

Increasingly patients are looking to work directly with their physicians without the government or insurance company in the exam room.

 

Direct Primary Care (DPC) is an innovative alternative payment model improving access to high functioning healthcare with a simple, flat, affordable membership fee. No fee-for-service payments. 

No third party billing. 

The defining element of DPC is an enduring and trusting relationship between a patient and his or her primary care provider. 

Patients have extraordinary access to a physician of their choice, often for as little as $70 per month, and physicians are accountable first and foremost their patients. DPC is embraced by health policymakers on the left and right and creates happy patients and happy doctors all over the country!
