How much does Direct Primary Care cost?

Direct Primary Care is generally affordable, starting with a low monthly membership fee (often between $70 and $150 for adults). This fee covers most or all primary care services, including unlimited office visits, annual physicals, and direct communication with your physician, eliminating copays and deductibles for primary care.

Do I still need health insurance if I join DPC?

Yes, it is highly recommended that you maintain a low-cost, high-deductible insurance plan (often called a catastrophic plan). The DPC membership covers your primary care needs, but health insurance is necessary to cover expensive events like specialist visits, hospitalization, emergency room visits, and surgeries.

Can businesses sign up their employees for Direct Primary Care?

Absolutely. DPC is an excellent benefit for small and medium-sized businesses. Companies can sign up employees by paying a set monthly fee per employee, which often provides a cost-effective alternative or supplement to traditional insurance plans while improving employee health and reducing lost work time.

Do you provide care for children?

Yes, many Direct Primary Care practices offer pediatric services, though age limits can vary. Please check the specific membership details to confirm pediatric coverage and pricing.

Are labs and medications included in the monthly fee?

While the monthly fee generally covers the physician's service, it typically does not include all labs or medications. However, DPC clinics usually leverage deep discounts for labs and imaging (often costing 80-90% less than retail) and dispense common generic medications in-office at wholesale prices, providing significant savings over traditional pharmacy costs.
