What Is Direct Primary Care?
Direct Primary Care (DPC) is an innovative alternative payment model improving access to high functioning healthcare with a simple, flat, affordable monthly membership fee. No fee-for-service payments. No third party billing. The defining element of DPC is an enduring and trusting relationship between a patient and his or her primary care physician. Patients have extraordinary access to their physician for a monthly fee, and your physician will be accountable first and foremost to you. DPC is embraced by health policymakers on the left and right and creates happy patients and happy doctors all over the country!
