Direct Primary Care (DPC) - Patient FAQs

What is Direct Primary Care (DPC)?

DPC is a healthcare model where you pay a flat monthly membership fee for unlimited access to primary care services, without involving insurance. This allows your provider to focus directly on you.

What's Included in My Membership?

- Same-day or next-day appointments

- Extended visits

- Direct access to your provider by phone/text/email

- Routine labs, chronic disease management, preventive care

- Discounted medications or imaging

Do I Still Need Insurance?

Yes, we recommend you carry insurance for hospitalizations, specialist care, or emergencies. DPC covers primary care but is not a replacement for full insurance coverage.

How Much Does DPC Cost?

Most clinics charge $50-100 per month

Can I Cancel Anytime?

Yes! Most DPC clinics operate on a month-to-month basis with no long-term contracts.

What If I Need Labs or Imaging?

We offer routine labs with all DPC memberships. If specialty labs are needed we will discuss available options and pricing. We also partner with local imaging centers for affordable cash pricing.

How Do I Reach My Provider?

You'll have direct communication access through phone, text, or email. No more waiting on hold or going through multiple gatekeepers.

What Makes DPC Different from Traditional Care?

DPC removes insurance billing, letting providers spend more time with fewer patients, focusing on personalized, accessible, and preventive care.
