What is Direct Primary Care?

Direct Primary Care (DPC) is a simple, patient-focused way to get the medical care you need without the hassle of insurance. Instead of paying for each visit or test, you join a DPC practice for a low monthly fee — like a gym membership. That fee covers most of your everyday healthcare needs: office visits, check-ups, urgent care, chronic condition management, and more. Because doctors don’t have to deal with insurance red tape, they can spend more time listening to you and focusing on what really matters — your health and well-being.

Why Choose DPC?

Patients choose DPC because it puts them back at the center of care. With DPC, you typically get:

• Same-day or next-day appointments when you need them

• Longer visits with your doctor, so you feel heard

• 24/7 access by phone, text, or video for urgent concerns

• Lower overall costs for labs, imaging, and prescriptions

• A real relationship with your doctor, built on trust and continuity

DPC is about peace of mind: knowing your doctor is there when you need them, without surprise bills or insurance hassles.
