What is direct primary care?
A: Direct primary care (DPC) is a healthcare model in which patients pay a monthly or annual fee to receive comprehensive and personalized primary care services directly from their healthcare provider without involving insurance companies or third-party payers.
How is DPC different from traditional primary care?
A: Traditional primary care is typically paid for through insurance, which can create administrative burdens for both patients and providers. In contrast, Direct Primary Care (DPC) eliminates the bureaucracy and focuses on providing high-quality care through a more personalized approach with longer appointment times, 24/7 access to their healthcare provider, and more proactive preventative care.
Do I still need health insurance if I have DPC?
A: DPC is not a substitute for health insurance as it only covers primary care services. Patients are still advised to carry health insurance to cover services outside of the scope of primary care, such as specialist visits, hospitalizations, and emergency care.
How much does DPC cost?
A: The cost of DPC varies depending on location and the services provided, but fees can range from $50-$200 per month. Some DPC practices may offer discounted rates for additional family members or patients with chronic illnesses.
Are DPC providers licensed medical professionals?
A: Yes, DPC providers are licensed medical professionals, such as physicians, nurse practitioners, or physician assistants, who have opted to provide primary care services directly to their patients without involving insurance companies or third-party payers.
Is DPC covered by Medicare?
A: Medicare does not cover DPC fees. Some DPC providers may choose to opt-out of Medicare entirely to avoid regulatory requirements.
Can DPC providers prescribe medication and order lab tests?
A: Yes, Direct Primary Care (DPC) providers can prescribe medication, order lab tests, and perform other primary care services. However, some DPC practices may have agreements with outside labs or imaging centers to provide these services at a lower cost to patients.
