Why DPC Often Beats Traditional Model
Feature |
Traditional Model |
Direct Primary Care Model |
||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Physician-Patient Time | Short, rushed visits; high patient-load per physician. (phprimarycare.com) | Longer, unhurried appointments; smaller patient panels. (AAFP) | ||||
| Accessibility | Delays, gatekeepers, referrals; limited access via insurance bureaucracy. (ProPartners Healthcare) | Direct access by phone, email, video; often same-day or next-day appointments. (ProPartners Healthcare) | ||||
| Cost Transparency & Predictability | Copays, coinsurance, deductibles, surprise bills; dependence on insurance. (ProPartners Healthcare) | Simple flat or monthly membership fees; fewer surprises; no insurance paperwork for primary care services. (PMC) | ||||
| Administrative Overhead | Lots of paperwork, billing, insurance-driven requirements. (AAFP) | Much lower admin burden; doctors have more time for actual medical care. (PMC) | ||||
| Preventive & Whole-Person Care | More reactive: treat illnesses as they happen vs. prevention. Fragmented care among specialists. (phprimarycare.com) | DPC tends to focus on preventive care, chronic disease management, wellness, coordination, earlier intervention. (Roots Health DPC) |
