DIRECT PRIMARY CARE:
The Key to Transforming Healthcare Delivery and Lowering Rising Costs.

Switching from the current model of medicine to something new and different can be intimidating.  Direct Primary Care is far from a new style of patient care.  DPC is a movement of independent physicians that dare to put patients first.  Remember when doctors used to make house calls and know all their patients by name?  We want to get back to that patient-centered standard of care.  As a member, you’ll have access to your doctor, and that’s just the beginning.

On average, Americans lose $43 worth of time when they see the doctor - in addition to their average out-of-pocket medical expenses ($32). ¹

THE THREE FOUNDATIONS OF DPC

NO BILLING INSURANCE COMPANIES

First, DPC Doctors are liberated from insurance carrier incentives and volume-based reimbursement.

SMALLER PATIENT PANELS

Second, DPC caps the number of patients a doctor sees to a fraction of what an insurance-based practice has.  This allows the doctor to spend more time with each patient.

REMOVING BARRIERS TO CARE

Third, there are no co-pays or out-of-pocket costs, no matter how frequently someone needs to access care.
