What is Direct Primary Care?

Direct primary care (DPC) is a healthcare model in which patients pay a monthly fee to their healthcare practitioner for unlimited access to primary care services. This fee typically covers office visits, phone calls, email, and text messages. DPC practitioners do not accept insurance, so patients do not have to worry about copays or deductibles.

There are many benefits to DPC, including:

• Affordability: DPC is typically much more affordable than traditional healthcare. Patients pay a flat monthly fee, and they do not have to worry about copays or deductibles. This can save patients hundreds or even thousands of dollars each year.

• Access: DPC practitioners offer same-day or next-day appointments, and they are available by phone, email, and text message. This means that patients can get the care they need when they need it, without having to wait weeks or months for an appointment.

• Personalized care: DPC practitioners have more time for each patient, which allows them to build a relationship with their patients and get to know their individual needs. This leads to better care and better outcomes.

• Preventative care: DPC practitioners focus on preventative care, which can help patients stay healthy and avoid costly medical problems down the road.

• Patient satisfaction: DPC patients are very satisfied with their care. They report being more satisfied with their healthcare practitioner, their access to care, and their overall healthcare experience.

If you are looking for a more affordable and accessible way to get primary care, DPC may be a good option for you.
