What is Direct Primary Care?
Direct Primary Care allows you to have a direct relationship with your doctor. Your doctor can take more time with you, and you are spared the hassle of wrangling with insurance companies. For the equivalent of a monthly cell phone bill, you can receive direct, primary health care services that are tailored to your individual needs. DPC is not just good for patients. It allows primary care physicians to rediscover their full potential and joy in practicing medicine. The model is intended to restore the patient-physician relationship without the intrusion of insurance companies.
For a practice to qualify as a Direct Primary Care practice the practice:
- Charges a periodic fee
- Does not bill any third-party payors on a fee-for-service basis, and
Benefits of the Direct Primary Care (DPC) model generally include:
- Same physician every visit
- True continuity of care
- Wholesale prices on medications, lab and diagnostic testing (dependent on State Law)
- Extended office visits
- Home visits
- Minor surgical procedures
- Chronic medical condition management
- Acute injury/illness management
