What is Direct Primary Care (DPC)?

How Does Direct Primary Care Work?

Direct Primary Care (DPC) is a membership-based model that gives you direct access to your provider for a simple monthly fee.

How is this different from traditional primary care?

Most traditional clinics are structured around insurance requirements, which often limit time and access.

Here, your care is designed differently:

  • Appointments are typically 30–60+ minutes

  • You have direct access to your provider between visits

  • Your care plan is tailored to you—not dictated by billing rules

This is care designed around your health—not the system.

  • Longer, unrushed appointments

  • Same or next-day access when you need care

  • Direct communication (telehealth, messaging, email)

  • A focus on prevention and root-cause care

Call today to find out if Direct Primary Care is right for you.

This is truly patient-centered care.

FAQ

What is the benefit of DPC Telehealth?

1

  • Appointments long enough to understand your story and background, not just your symptom list. Generally, between 30 and 60 minutes, as compared with the standard 15-minute appointment times most clinics adhere to.

  • No more waiting weeks to be seen. Same or next-day access to appointment bookings with a consistent provider relationship.

  • No more seeing “whoever is available" on short notice. Direct access to your provider.

  • Our clinic sees patients via telehealth consults. This means we will see you during your visit through a secure, HIPAA-compliant online video platform.

  • Transparent monthly cost, without any surprise billing. Fixed monthly membership rate. No copays.

  • No insurance red tape. This is Primary Care without the insurance middleman.

Do you accept insurance?

2

  • No—we do not bill insurance for visits.

    This allows us to:

    • Spend more time with you

    • Remove administrative barriers

    • Provide more personalized, relationship-based care

    However, we strongly recommend maintaining insurance for:

    • Emergencies

    • Hospitalizations

    • Specialist care

Is Direct Primary Care a replacement for insurance?

No.

Direct Primary Care is designed to work alongside insurance—not replace it.

Think of it as:

  • Your first point of contact for nearly all primary care needs

  • Combined with insurance for larger, unexpected medical events

Can I still use my hSA?

3

  • Yes.

    As of 2026, Direct Primary Care memberships are considered a qualified medical expense.

    This means:

    • You can use your HSA to pay for your membership

    • You can still contribute to your HSA

    Important:
    To remain eligible, you must also have a qualifying high-deductible health plan (HDHP).
