Direct Primary Care (DPC) is an extensive medical practice model that focuses exclusively on the direct relationship between you and your doctor. The key benefits of the DPC model are accessibility, convenience, enhanced care, better health outcomes, and cost savings. DPC is a new way to get highly personalized, comprehensive, physician-guided primary care without barriers.
Direct primary care has grown in popularity recently and considered to be an innovative alternative to traditional fee-for-service insurance billing. While the traditional healthcare model can be less-than-stellar, DPC is superfastNsafe.
Also referred to as concierge primary care, DPC is a practice and payment model where patients pay their physician or practice directly in the form of periodic payments for primary care services. The fees cover most sets of primary care services including clinical and laboratory services, consultative services, care coordination, and comprehensive care management. This new health care approach allows doctors to spend more time seeing and treating their patients often with 24/7 availability.
Sticking with the same doctor over years can have some significant benefits including:
- You’ll establish a closer professional relationship. Direct primary care enables the healthcare providers to spend more individual time with each patient.
- You don’t need to wait for the scheduled day to see your doctor in the hospitals and get to the bottom of your health problems before they get worse. It’s easier now to make same-day or next-day appointments to your direct primary care physician.
- It’s no exaggeration, that DPC enables you to save money by not paying for each of your visits to the hospital at different prices. You pay the same amount each month/year no matter how frequently you make a visit to the doctor. Since you pay every month, quarter, or year for a direct primary care physician, you save your time, money and get comprehensive care.
- While maintaining a high-quality level of care, DPC is quickly becoming the go-to option for continuously rising healthcare costs.
- Free or reduced-price screenings,
- Unlimited access 24/7.
