For more information about direct primary care (DPC), please review our frequently asked questions. Contact us for additional information on our program, fees, and services. We would be happy to answer your questions.

What is a direct primary care doctor?

Direct primary care is a membership-based model for medical care. A physician who offers DPC cuts out the middleman. This model of medical care involves a financial agreement between the patient and doctor where a set fee is paid. That membership fee then covers specific services and provides discounts on additional services. There is no need to worry about third-party billing or charges.

What is a direct primary care plan? What does it cover?

Membership with DPC involves a flat, affordable fee. The plan covers 1 yearly annual physical exam with basic laboratory services, a routine gynecological exam with pap smear, EKG, a chest x-ray, and extended visits with your primary care provider. It also includes telecommunication visits via video, phone, or email. Patients receive discounts on lab and imaging services.

How much is direct primary care?

Our membership fee is a flat, affordable rate for medical care. There are no hidden fees or complex invoices so you are aware of all costs ahead of time. Please contact our office for membership plans and fees.

Will I have to pay a fee for office visits?

Your membership plan covers office visits. An additional copay is not needed. However, if you need lab work or imaging services, discounted fees may apply.

How do I get medications with direct primary care?

Medications are not covered within your membership fee. However, we will help you find the best medications as affordably as possible.

What is the difference between concierge medicine and direct primary care?

DPC and concierge medicine are both alternative payment plans for medical care. These plans involve a flat membership fee that covers specific services. 

 

Concierge medicine tends to have a higher annual membership fee. Contracts and fees are usually yearly. Concierge doctors may work with insurance companies.

With DPC, membership plans are more affordable and often may be paid monthly, quarterly, or annually. Direct primary care plans cover more office visits. However, plans and services do not involve insurance coverage. Please contact our office for additional information on our fees and services.

We are here for you.
