Direct Primary Care

Primary care built around you, not around a billing cycle.

What is direct primary care?

Direct primary care is a membership. You pay one flat monthly fee straight to your provider instead of going through insurance. In return, you get a provider with time to actually know you, visits when you need them, and a direct line to ask questions between appointments.

  • Labs at our cost

    A wholesale lab agreement means you pay exactly what we pay, with no markup. Labs are paid before they are ordered and are not billed to insurance.

  • Keep a backup plan

    DPC covers your primary care, not emergencies, hospital stays or specialists. Most members pair it with a catastrophic or wraparound plan.
