DPC Frequently Asked Questions

---

DPC is a healthcare model that provides patients with direct access to their primary care provider without the need for insurance. Instead of billing insurance for every visit, patients pay a flat monthly or annual membership fee for comprehensive, personalized care.

Unlike traditional healthcare, DPC eliminates the middleman—insurance companies—allowing for longer appointments, direct communication with your provider, transparent pricing, and a focus on your overall well-being instead of just treating symptoms.

 DPC memberships typically includes, but not limited to:

• Unlimited office visits

• Annual physicals

• Chronic disease management

• Preventive care

• Simple in office procedures 

• Access to discounted labs, imaging, and medications

Yes, it’s recommended to keep insurance for emergencies, hospitalizations, and specialist care. Think of DPC as an affordable supplement to cover your day-to-day healthcare needs.

The funds that you have available to you in your Health Savings Account or Flexible Spending Account can NOT be used to pay for your monthly DPC membership costs, but CAN be used to cover service costs, like lab fees, prescriptions or imaging. 

DPC services can be paid via credit or debit card. When you complete your enrollment, the system will ask you to place a card on file. This is the card that will be used for payment. You will be able to update your card information through your client portal as needed.
