Direct primary care, or DPC, is a new, patient-centered healthcare delivery model. DPC providers focus on building healthy patient-doctor relationships by being available when patients need them, spending as much time as necessary on appointments, and creating proactive treatment plans that get to the root of a patient’s health concerns. The DPC model includes a flat monthly fee that grants patients direct access to their doctor via office visits, cell phone, email, and telehealth visits. In addition, DPC members can access discounts on other medical services, including imaging, pathology, and labs, all without requiring insurance.
