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.

​
