What is Direct Primary Care?
Direct Primary Care (DPC) is a healthcare model that involves a direct relationship between patients and primary care providers, without the involvement of insurance companies or other third-party payers like government or employers. In this model, patients pay a monthly membership fee to their primary care provider, who in turn provides comprehensive and personalized care, including preventative care, chronic disease management, and urgent care services. Direct Primary Care providers often offer same-day or next-day appointments, remote consultations through telemedicine, in-house pharmacies, and reduced cost ancillary services. They also typically have smaller patient panels than traditional primary care practices, allowing for more individualized attention and longer appointment times. One of the benefits of Direct Primary Care is that it eliminates the administrative and billing complexities of working with insurance companies, which can lead to lower costs for patients and allow providers to spend more time focused on patient care.
