Questions
What is Direct Primary Care (DPC)?
DPC is a membership-based healthcare model where patients pay a monthly fee directly to their physician, eliminating insurance company involvement for primary care services.
How does DPC save money on healthcare?
DPC reduces costs by removing insurance administrative overhead, offering transparent pricing, and providing preventive care that reduces long-term medical expenses through early intervention.
Do I still need health insurance with DPC?
Yes, DPC covers primary care services but not major medical events. We recommend catastrophic insurance plans or health sharing ministries for unexpected hospitalizations or surgeries.
What services are included in DPC membership?
Membership includes annual physicals, chronic condition management, virtual visits, lab discounts, minor procedures, and 24/7 physician access through extended appointments.
Can I use DPC with Medicare?
Yes, Medicare patients can use DPC services without co-pays, though Medicare covers labs, imaging, and specialty care while DPC provides primary care services directly.
How do I schedule an appointment?
