Direct Primary Care: a better way forward for everyone
Direct Primary Care (“DPC” for short) is something that makes real practical sense to us, and we bet it will feel the same to you.
It’s a return to the way primary care used to be -- centered on a genuine, human relationship with your doctor -- with the advantages that modern technology can bring to communication and access.
Rather than letting insurance companies dictate what primary care you aren’t entitled to, or giant healthcare corporations treat you like a number or a problem to be hustled out the door as soon as possible, we can do this work how we all know it should be done: together.
For a flat monthly membership fee, you get access to your doctor, when you need it -- via office visit, phone or video call, or text message. No deductibles, hidden fees, or other surprises.
Visit length is based upon how much time we need, not upon how much time some algorithm tells us we’re allowed to have. If you need extra visits while navigating a health concern, you get them, without the co-pays, hidden charges, stress, or rush. Home visits can be scheduled in advance, for an additional fee to cover travel expenses and time.
By keeping our total number of patients at a reasonable level, we’re actually available to you, often in real-time or same-day. We have the opportunity to be creative and flexible in getting you the care you need, when and how you need it.
We also help you get access to lab testing, imaging, and medications at far lower cost than the inflated prices the giant insurers and health care corporations typically apply. These inflated prices are what you pay out-of-pocket even when using insurance, until you meet your ever-increasing deductible.
Studies have consistently shown that DPC saves patients money and results in healthier lives, and -- literally, by definition -- allows doctors and patients to start to take back control of what primary care can be.
