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.

Keep a backup plan
