What is Direct Primary Care ( DPC )?

​

Direct Primary Care (DPC) Physicians allows for direct contracting for services between physicians (or other healthcare providers) and individual patients. Insurance is not accepted in the direct primary care model. This allows for many features and benefits that are not available in an insurance-based, fee-for-service practice.

​

Direct Primary Care Practice allows physicians to maintain small patient panels, which allow for more time and attention to be dedicated to each patient. This promotes the Doctor-Patient Relationship and facilitates the delivery of personalized care.

 

Our Direct Primary Care (DPC) membership includes the following
features:

​

Same and next-day appointments guaranteed. 

​

• Unpressured pcp appointment, which begin on time and last the time necessary to allow for thorough evaluation and care. 

• Telephone, email, text access to the Direct primary care physician. Many issues can be resolved without a visit and instead can be handled via electronic communications. 

• After-hours and weekend access to the physician via phone or text.
