A NEW TREND IN HEALTHCARE? A NEW WAY OF ACCESSING YOUR DOC... DIRECT PRIMARY CARE

Not Fee For Service. • Instead of a cost/claim for each individual service, there is a monthly subscription fee • This subscription fee covers services in the aggregate--patient care as a whole, not as a line item • Fees can range from $50 - $100+ a month ( often depending on age ) for adults. Children are typically covered for less with an adult subscription • Not to be confused with concierge medicine which typically charges a yearly or monthly access fee just to be allowed to see the doc, and then still charges you or your insurance fees per visit/service.

You are a Customer, Not Just a Patient... • Focused on putting the personal relationship back into patient care • Unlimited access to the actual physician, including availability to their patients outside of traditional office hours (not the nurse, not the PA) • Access to the physician through email, texting, and cell phone • Unrushed appointments • Same day and next day appointment • Some DPC’s make house calls • Some DPC’s offer medications at wholesale costs which can be far less than the Rx co-pay
