Direct Primary Care
Primary care with time to know you
Direct Primary Care (DPC) is a membership-based approach to primary care. Members pay the practice directly for routine primary care — with more room for continuity, questions, and follow-up.
The basics
What Direct Primary Care means
Instead of billing routine office care through insurance, a DPC membership creates a direct relationship between you and the practice for the services defined in your membership agreement.
The result is a primary-care relationship designed around useful time: room to explain what changed, review your history, ask questions, and understand what comes next. Because you see the same provider, each visit builds on the last.
Preventive & routine care
A consistent place to start for prevention, routine visits, acute concerns, and chronic-condition management.
An ongoing relationship
Continuity means your provider already knows your story — you don't start from zero each time.
Communication & follow-up
Time to review a plan, ask questions, and follow up so you understand your care decisions over time.
Individual memberships

Coverage & limitations
How DPC differs from health insurance
DPC is primary care — not insurance. It does not cover hospital stays, emergency care, specialists, or catastrophic events. Most members keep insurance or other appropriate coverage alongside their membership.
| Topic | Direct Primary Care | Health insurance |
|---|---|---|
| How you pay | A flat monthly membership paid directly to the practice | Premiums, plus copays, deductibles, or coinsurance per visit |
| What it covers | An agreed scope of routine primary care | Broad coverage, including hospital, emergency, and specialist care |
| Relationship | Built around continuity with one provider | Varies by plan and network |
| Do you still need it? | — | Yes — DPC does not replace this coverage |
Final eligibility, billing, and included services are governed by the current membership agreement. In an emergency, call 911.
Common questions
Do I still need health insurance with Direct Primary Care?
Yes, most people should keep broader coverage. Direct Primary Care is focused on primary care. It is not hospital, emergency, specialist, or catastrophic medical coverage, and many members keep insurance for care outside the membership.
What is the difference between the 12-month and month-to-month options?
A 12-month commitment carries a lower monthly rate. For example, adults 18–64 are $75/month with a 12-month commitment or $95/month month-to-month.
Is there an enrollment fee?
Yes. A one-time $75 enrollment fee applies when beginning membership.
What exactly does membership include?
Membership covers an agreed scope of routine primary-care services. Final eligibility, billing, and included services are governed by the current membership agreement, which the practice reviews with you before enrollment.
