What is Direct Primary Care?
Direct Primary Care is a New, Innovative Healthcare Model Which Takes the Power from the Insurance Company and Puts it into the Patient's Hands.
DPC is completely cutting out the insurance middle man and giving you direct access to your primary care provider. Instead of paying co-pays, co-insurance and dealing with deductibles for each visit, you pay a low monthly fee (which is usually cheaper than the amount of your cell phone bill) that gives you incredible access to your primary care provider. Unlimited visits, phone calls, video calls, texts, emails, plus in office labs and procedures!

We Provide Quality Care
DPC completely changes the way we provide care for our patients. The typical healthcare model has created an environment where providers have less and less time to spend with patients, as their time is taken up catering to insurance companies. On average, a primary care physician spends 15.7 minutes with each patient per visit, and only 5.2 minutes talking. Most provider’s didn’t go into medicine to see their patients as if they were on an assembly line – and unfortunately that is what we’ve all come to expect…until now.
Direct Primary Care enjoys nurturing the relationship between provider and patient. DPC offers longer, much longer appointment times, (imagine up to an hour!) allowing the provider to truly get to know the patient and provide an unmatched level of care.
You will never wait in the waiting room for 45 minutes for your appointment (try no more than 5), you will never wait weeks or even days to get in for an appointment (appointments will be available same day or next day). Your provider will never rush you out of the exam room; or have their hand on the door while you are still talking, because there are seven other patients behind you, next to you, and in front of you, all still waiting to be seen. You will never have a visit where the provider doesn’t even look up at you from the computer screen. You’re going to love it.
How Can DPC Accomplish This?
DPC is a model that involves keeping patient population low. A typical primary care provider has a patient panel at times exceeding 2500 patient’s. It’s no wonder there are long waiting room times, and its near impossible to know all of your patient’s well with those kinds of numbers. A DPC provider typically has no more than 500 patients.
Imagine yourself in your living room talking with a good friend, that is what DPC is like, that is what we offer, an that is what you can expect.
Personalized patient care is what sets Direct Primary Care apart. When you visit your provider, you can expect a level of care and access that is reminiscent of small-town America before the advent of commercialized, impersonal medicine.

Can DPC Really Save You Money?
It may be hard to wrap your head around paying an extra monthly bill for healthcare, you already have so many! But here is how we can save you money.
Imagine this scenario. You have an insurance policy and the monthly premium for you and your spouse costs you around $1000.00 per month (which is likely considered cheap in this healthcare economy). On top of that, you have a $5,000.00 deductible you have to meet before the insurance pays a dime! Then after you meet the deductible, you are still responsible for a 30% co- insurance (which is just a fancy way of saying that even after you meet the deductible you are still responsible for 30% of the healthcare costs). But don’t worry! Your max out of pocket is only in the neighborhood of $7,500.00 per year! That’s IF you can find a doctor “in your network” who is actually accepting patients! UGH! It’s enough to make you want to give up on your healthcare all together.

How DPC Works With or Without Insurance
You can choose a higher deductible plan, saving you hundreds every month on insurance.
Most of your care will be covered at your DPC clinic, however you still have high deductible coverage in the event of an emergency or catastrophic event. Think of it this way, you wouldn’t file a claim with your car insurance company for a broken windshield wiper!
You can keep that same policy and in addition, join our DPC practice.
In this scenario you would be increasing your monthly payment by around $65-$105/month; however, this will pay for itself if it saves you even one trip to the emergency room or just two visits to an urgent care. Even with a low deductible plan, when you are a member of DPC, you have no copay. You will save at every visit and you can come in ad frequently as you want and need.
Procedures are very inexpensive.
Example: most insurance companies will not cover skin tag removal as it is deemed “cosmetic.” You can be charged upwards of $300.00 for skin tag removal at an insurance-based practice, even with great health insurance! That same procedure is only $10 for members.
