DPC stands for Direct Primary Care and is a method for patients to receive primary care by paying a doctor directly. This direct payment to the doctor eliminates the need for insurance and the headache of dealing with many common grievances of the healthcare system.
We think so! Direct primary care is a great option for people looking for less costly medical services and a more genuine relationship with their doctor. With your doctor only a text, phone call, or email away, they are directly involved with your medical issues and solutions.
In the normal healthcare model, a visit to your primary care provider includes a rushed visit in which there is, generally, very little listening and not enough time to delve into the root of your questions. DPC removes those issues and allows you to spend the time you need directly with your doctor. Don’t want to be forced to pick one concern and schedule a follow up for your second? No problem! DPC allows you to address all your concerns, whenever you have them, directly with the doctor. No pre-authorizations or co-pays required.
No more insurance fees, no more co-pays, no more costly procedures, or paying every time you have a doctor’s appointment for something minor. Just one monthly fee, with no hidden fees! Plus, there is no limit to the number of services you utilize while a member. Need stitches? Covered! Sick visit? Covered! Need a quick prescription? Covered!
Additionally, we offer wholesale bloodwork and medication options to give you the best price.
The direct primary care model provides patients with more affordable, accessible, and oftentimes better service compared to traditional primary doctors. In addition to price transparency and savings, DPC allows patients to have a more personal relationship with their Doctor resulting in better care and peace of mind.
Cons of DPC could include the coverage gap that exists for catastrophic events. Direct primary care models typically cover all “primary care” services which excludes hospital visits or significant health incidents. For this reason we typically recommend patients have some kind of coverage for unforeseen healthcare events
