What is Direct Primary Care?
Direct Primary Care (DPC) is an innovative alternative payment model that allows extraordinary, unrestricted access to your physician of choice with a simple, flat, affordable membership fee that bypasses insurance companies with no fee-for-service or third-party billing. DPC clinics are also able to lower cost of care by providing access to at-cost labs, and many medications. DPC clinics limit their panel of patients to maintain efficient work, ample visit time, and little wait, thus improving outcomes.
