What is dIRECT PRIMARY CARE

Direct Primary Care (DPC) is a modern, patient-centered approach to healthcare. Instead of billing insurance for every visit, DPC operates on a simple monthly membership. This means your doctor isn’t paid per appointment, allowing them to focus entirely on your care—not paperwork.

Traditional primary care doctors often have 2,000 to 3,000 patients in their panel. In contrast, DPC physicians care for a much smaller panel—typically between 200 and 600 patients. This gives them more time to focus on you.

Appointments usually last 30 to 60 minutes, far longer than the 10 to 15 minutes you might be used to. That extra time means more personalized, in-depth care and a better understanding of your health needs.

With DPC, you're never just a number. You'll have direct access to your doctor through text, phone calls, or video visits—whichever works best for you. And because you'll see the same provider every time, you benefit from consistent, continuous care.

Many DPC practices offer wholesale pricing on lab tests, imaging, and medications—often at a fraction of the cost. With no hidden fees and no surprise bills, you'll always know what to expect.
