Direct Primary Care (DPC) is a healthcare model that prioritizes easier access to your doctor, longer appointments, and affordable care. Most importantly, it puts patients first, ensuring they receive treatment when needed. With DPC, appointments are never rushed, and doctors take a proactive approach to healthcare. The relationship between doctor and patient is truly direct, just as the name implies.
We also take pride in our price transparency—you’ll always know the cost of a service before it’s performed.
No—and that’s a good thing.
By not dealing with insurance billing, we avoid the restrictions and rules that come with it. This lets us spend more time with patients and keep wait times to a minimum.
We forgo insurance payments to protect our patients from the arbitrary, intrusive decisions that often come with third-party payers.
Additionally, we save patients money by negotiating lower prices for tests and offering medications from our in-house pharmacy at deeply discounted prices—without the steep markups
No, you shouldn’t!
It’s important to keep insurance for specialists and in case of catastrophic events like cancer, severe infections, or other major illnesses. We advise our patients to maintain a major medical plan for financial protection in case hospitalization or specialist referrals are needed.
Your Direct Primary Care (DPC) membership is not insurance—it’s a subscription that gives you unlimited access to your doctor. With your membership, you get longer visits, same- or next-business-day appointments, personalized care, and no copays or billing headaches. You also receive discounted rates on labs, medications, and imaging. While you can still use insurance for these services, many patients find the cash-based DPC option more convenient and cost-effective for everyday primary care.
Yes! A DPC membership gives you affordable, high-quality primary care, even without traditional insurance. Many patients pair DPC with health share programs, which help cover larger medical bills like hospital stays, surgeries, or emergencies that DPC doesn’t cover.
Why health shares can work well with DPC:
– They help cover major medical expenses.
– They are often more affordable than traditional insurance.
– Routine care and chronic condition management are handled through your DPC membership.
– They give flexibility in choosing doctors and hospitals.
– They provide peace of mind for unexpected medical costs.
Important note: Health shares aren’t always the best choice for patients with chronic conditions because:
– Pre-existing conditions may not be covered.
– You may need to reach a monthly or yearly “sharing” amount before coverage starts.
– Some medications, treatments, or specialist visits may have limits.
Some health share options include:
– Sedera Health Share – DPC members get a special discount.
– Medi-Share
– Liberty HealthShare
– Christian Healthcare Ministries
Pairing DPC with a health share gives you everyday care plus protection for larger medical bills, even if you don’t have insurance.
We offer a seamless cancellation process with no fees—simply provide a 30-day written notice. If you choose to re-enroll in the future, a re-enrollment fee of $150 will apply.
