What is Direct Primary Care?
Direct Primary Care (DPC) is a membership-based healthcare model that gives you direct access to your healthcare provider for a simple monthly fee. There are no copays, no insurance billing, and no rushed appointments.
It's healthcare focused on you, not insurance companies.
Traditional Healthcare
Insurance --> Doctor --> Prior Authorizations. --> Bills and Copays
Direct Primary Care
Doctor --> You
Thats it.
Why I Opened a Direct Primary Care Practice
My name is Jessica Gerner, FNP-C
