Available practices
Rethinking the clinic.
Direct Primary Care removes insurance companies from your everyday healthcare. Instead of co-pays, surprise bills, and rushed seven-minute appointments, you pay a flat monthly fee directly to your doctor.
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.
-
Unrushed visits
Standard appointments run 30 to 60 minutes, not 7 to 15.
-
Direct access
Text, email, or call your doctor without going through front-desk triage.
-
Wholesale labs and meds
Common generics and lab work billed at cost — often a fraction of insurance prices.
