Direct Primary Care, or DPC, is a healthcare model where patients pay a monthly membership fee directly to their primary care provider. This approach eliminates insurance billing for routine services, allowing longer appointments, same-day or next-day visits, and more personalized care. Direct Primary Care often includes preventive care, chronic disease management, basic lab services, and ongoing communication through phone or messaging. By reducing administrative overhead, physicians can focus on patient relationships and proactive health management. DPC offers transparent pricing, improved access, and a simplified healthcare experience for individuals and families.
