DIRECT PRIMARY CARE (DPC)

DPC is a membership-based payment model in which patients pay a doctor a monthly membership fee directly for unlimited access to primary care and prevention services in a medical home environment

SERVICES

The hallmark of DPC is adequate time spent between patient and doctor, creating an enduring doctor-patient relationship. Supported by unfettered access to care, DPC enables unhurried interactions and frequent discussions to assess lifestyle choices and treatment decisions aimed at long-term health and wellbeing.

PATIENT CHOICE

Patients choose their own personal physician and are active partners in their healthcare by making their own medical and financial choices. DPC patients have the right to transparent pricing, access, and availability of all services provided.

ELIMINATION OF FEE-FOR-SERIVCE

Fee-for-service provides an incentive that distorts healthcare decision-making through rewarding volume over value.  DPC eliminates undesired fee-for-service incentives by replacing it with a simple flat monthly fee that covers comprehensive primary care services.

ADVOCACY

A DPC doctor has time to make informed, appropriate referrals and support patient needs when they are outside of primary care.

STEWARDSHIP

A DPC doctor believes that healthcare must provide more value to the patient and the system.
