Direct Primary Care

What is Direct Primary Care?

Direct Primary Care (DPC) is an alternative healthcare model that offers a more personalized, affordable, and accessible form of primary care. Unlike traditional healthcare, DPC operates on a membership-based system, where patients pay a flat, monthly fee directly to their healthcare provider in exchange for a wide range of primary care services. This approach eliminates the need for health insurance for basic care, which simplifies the payment process and often leads to more transparent pricing.
