WHAT IS DIRECT PRIMARY CARE?
Direct Primary Care (DPC) is a contemporary healthcare model that provides individuals with essential primary care access for a predictable monthly fee. This approach is especially advantageous for those enrolled in high-deductible health plans or those who do not have insurance coverage.
Who Is Direct Primary Care For?
Direct Primary Care is ideal for individuals and families who want convenient, personalized access to their healthcare provider without the barriers of traditional insurance. It works well for patients with high-deductible health plans, self-employed individuals, and anyone seeking transparent pricing and unrushed care.

Cost Savings Example
Example: A company with 10 employees offers DPC at $55 per employee per month.
• Annual DPC cost: $6,600
• Average urgent care visit: $150–$250 per visit
• Avoiding just 30 urgent care visits per year can offset most or all of the DPC cost. Additional savings often occur through reduced ER visits, improved preventive care, and better chronic disease management.
Employee Continuation Option
Employees who leave the company may continue their DPC membership without interruption by transitioning to an individual plan at standard age-based rates.
Direct Primary Care is not insurance and can be offered alongside high-deductible health plans, health sharing plans, or other traditional insurance plans.
