Understanding Direct Primary Care

DPC is a simple, membership-based way to get everyday healthcare. Here's what it really means — and what it doesn't.

How DPC works

Monthly membership

A flat monthly fee that covers most of your routine and ongoing care. Including checkups, chronic condition visits, urgent care, and many in-office procedures.

No copays, no surprise bills, no paperwork.

A doctor who knows you

Build a lasting relationship with your doctor, someone who listens, knows your history, and is there when you need care.

Think "old-school family doctor," with modern convenience.

Direct access

Call, text, or message your doctor directly for quick questions or urgent issues.

No waiting weeks for appointments or navigating insurance approval delays.

Common myths about DPC

Myth
"DPC replaces my insurance."

Fact

DPC is not insurance. It covers your routine and preventive care. Most members still keep a high-deductible or catastrophic plan for big emergencies.

Myth
"It's only for wealthy people."

Fact

Many DPC practices were built to help uninsured or underinsured patients. Average costs are often less than what you pay in premiums or copays each month.

Myth
"I'll lose access to specialists or hospitals."

Fact

You can still use insurance for hospital visits, specialists, or prescriptions. DPC simply simplifies your primary care.

Myth
"It's too new or experimental."

Fact

DPC has been growing steadily for over a decade, with thousands of clinics across the U.S. and millions of patients.
