The structural change matters more than the price. DPC practices carry a fraction of the standard patient load, so doctors have time to actually know your medical history.
-

Standard appointments run 30 to 60 minutes, not 7 to 15.

-
Wholesale labs and meds
Common generics and lab work billed at cost — often a fraction of insurance prices.
