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.

Direct Primary Care Pricing in Tampa, FL

Affordable, Transparent Healthcare for Individuals and Families

At Vital Advanced Medical Center, we believe high-quality healthcare should be accessible to everyone—not limited by insurance companies or hidden costs. That’s why we use a Direct Primary Care (DPC) membership model. For one simple monthly fee, you get unlimited visits, same-day or next-day appointments, longer visits with your provider, and direct communication through phone, text, or portal.

Our membership pricing is designed to make care affordable for individuals, couples, families, and seniors in Tampa. With two convenient locations in Carrollwood and Town N’ Country, our bilingual team is here to provide accessible care in both English and Spanish.

What’s Included in Your Membership

Unlike traditional healthcare where every visit comes with a bill, your membership covers unlimited access to your provider. This includes:

Unlimited office visits with same-day or next-day availability
Extended appointments (30–60 minutes) for personalized care
Preventive care including annual physicals, wellness screenings, and immunizations
Chronic disease management for conditions like diabetes, hypertension, and thyroid disorders
Urgent care services for minor illnesses and injuries
Direct communication with your provider via phone, text, and secure portal
Virtual visits for care from the comfort of your home
Discounted rates on labs, imaging, and prescription medications

For less than the cost of most cellphone bills, you’ll have peace of mind knowing your provider is always available when you need them.

Membership vs. Non-Membership: What’s the Difference?

Many patients ask if they should simply “pay as they go” for urgent care visits or commit to a membership. The difference is clear:

Feature	DPC Membership	Non-Member (Pay-Per-Visit)
Monthly Cost	$25–$80 per person	None
Office Visits	Unlimited, included	$125 each
Appointment Access	Same-day or next-day guaranteed	Based on availability

A single urgent care visit costs more than an entire month of DPC membership. Investing in a membership means peace of mind, predictable costs, and a stronger relationship with your provider.
