Member Benefits
Direct Primary Care (DPC) is a modern approach to healthcare where patients pay a monthly or annual membership fee directly to their physician in exchange for comprehensive primary care services. DPC eliminates the need for insurance companies and their associated administrative costs, offering a more personalized, accessible, and cost-effective alternative to traditional healthcare models.

Why Choose Direct Primary Care?
1. Personalized, Patient-Centered Care
In Direct Primary Care, the focus is entirely on the patient. With fewer patients per doctor, physicians can take the time to understand your unique health needs, build a strong patient-provider relationship, and develop a more customized healthcare plan.
- Extended Visits: Appointments typically last longer, allowing for a deeper discussion of health concerns.
- Better Communication: With more time to interact, doctors can offer more detailed explanations and guidance.
2. Convenient Access to Care
DPC makes it easy to access care when you need it.
- Same-Day or Next-Day Appointments: Skip the long waits often seen in traditional practices.
- 24/7 Access: Many DPC practices offer phone, email, and text messaging options to reach your doctor at any time.
- Virtual Visits: Receive care from the comfort of your home via telehealth options.
3. Affordable & Transparent Pricing
Say goodbye to surprise medical bills! Direct Primary Care offers a simple, transparent pricing structure that makes healthcare costs clear and predictable.
- Flat Monthly/Annual Fee: The membership fee covers most primary care services, reducing or eliminating the need for copays and deductibles.
- No Hidden Fees: With DPC, you pay directly for services, and you know exactly what you’re paying for upfront.
4. No Insurance Hassles
With Direct Primary Care, you don’t need to worry about dealing with insurance companies for routine primary care services. Your doctor works directly with you to ensure the care you need, without the restrictions that insurance can impose.
- No Insurance Forms: Avoid the administrative burden of dealing with insurance claims and paperwork.
- Increased Doctor-Patient Time: The doctor is focused on you, not on billing and insurance matters.
5. Comprehensive and Proactive Care
Direct Primary Care practitioners focus on preventative care, wellness, and proactive health management.
- Preventive Screenings and Care: Regular checkups and screenings to keep you healthy.
- Chronic Condition Management: Continuous care for chronic conditions such as diabetes, hypertension, and asthma to improve long-term health outcomes.
- Holistic Approach: Your doctor has the time to consider all aspects of your health and lifestyle to guide you toward better well-being.
6. Improved Health Outcomes
With fewer patients to manage, DPC doctors have more time to spend on each patient, resulting in better health outcomes.
- Personalized Treatment Plans: tailored to your specific needs and goals.
- Preventative and Early Intervention: Catching health issues early helps in preventing long-term complications and reducing healthcare costs in the future.
