What is Direct Primary Care?

DPC is the way medicine SHOULD be!

Imagine picking up the phone and reaching your doctor …

Imagine being told “we’re happy to see you - are you free today?,” when you need an appointment …

Imagine a doctor who’s not rushed …

and then imagine a doctor who does house calls!

Imagine a world with all routine outpatient care covered by one monthly membership fee. No co-pays. No hidden costs. 

Removing the necessity to charge health insurance for routine outpatient care makes the doctor-patient relationship much simpler and more rewarding - for everyone involved.

It leaves doctors free to practice great medicine, with a smaller patient panel and enough time to spend with each patient, to fully address their concerns. DPC doctors are often able to go ‘above and beyond’ in employing tools and techniques that are not available with insurance-based office care.

It gives patients & families unparalleled access to their doctor, with multiple ways to reach out when they need care - and a prompt and full response with the care that they need, when they need it.

The monthly membership fee covers all routine care: well visits, sick visits, phone calls, lab draws, administration of state supplied immunizations, minor office procedures … and discounts are often available for out-of-office procedures and medications.

It is surprisingly affordable - less than most people pay for a monthly cell phone plan!

The New England Direct Primary Care Alliance sums it up nicely:

“DPC takes out the middleman, cuts through the layers of bureaucratic complexity and provides good, old-fashioned customer service — it is the best of old fashioned medicine in modern times.”
