Direct Primary Care is a membership-based healthcare model where patients pay a monthly or annual fee directly to their doctor instead of using insurance for routine services. This model prioritizes the patient-doctor relationship over insurance company requirements, allowing for more personalized and accessible care.

Traditional practices bill insurance for every visit and service. In DPC, we do not bill insurance; your membership fee covers most primary care needs. By maintaining a smaller patient panel, we offer deeper connections and significantly more time with each patient.

DPC can be more cost-effective, especially for those who visit their doctor frequently.

Members also gain access to significant discounts on prescriptions, lab testing, and imaging.

Rejoining after cancellation is subject to approval and current practice availability.

No, patients can be members even if they don’t have insurance.  It is strongly recommended that you have insurance to cover the costs of outside services, specialist visits, hospitalizations, surgeries, etc.  Healthshare plans work really well with DPC practices to keep overall healthcare costs down and patients healthier.
