DPC stands for Direct Primary Care. It is a new model of healthcare that provides patients with unlimited access to their primary care physician for a monthly fee. This fee covers all office visits, preventive care, and basic lab work. Patients also have access to their doctor's cell phone number and can text or call them with questions or concerns.

​

DPC is different from traditional healthcare in several ways. First, patients pay a monthly fee directly to their doctor, rather than through insurance. This means that there are no copays or deductibles for office visits. Second, DPC practices have a much lower patient-to-doctor ratio than traditional practices. This allows doctors to spend more time with each patient and get to know them better. Third, DPC practices are not tied to any insurance companies. This means that doctors are free to practice medicine without having to worry about meeting insurance company requirements.

DPC has several benefits for patients. It is much more affordable than traditional healthcare, patients have much more access to their doctor, and DPC practices are focused on preventive care, which can help patients stay healthy and avoid costly medical problems.
