Frequently asked questions
What is Direct Primary Care (DPC)?
Direct Primary Care (DPC) is a healthcare model where patients pay a flat monthly fee to become members of a DPC practice. This model facilitates a direct financial relationship between patients and their doctors, bypassing insurance and enabling more personalized care. In DPC, doctors provide a range of medical services including preventive, wellness, and chronic disease management.

Can Direct Primary Care save you money?
Direct Primary Care (DPC) providers offer a cost-effective alternative to traditional healthcare models. Here's how hiring us as your DPC provider can save you money:
1. No additional out-of-pocket costs
2. Reduced time away from work
3. Reduced costs for labs and imaging
4. Lower pharmacy costs
5. Fewer specialist visits
6. Less likely to spend your entire deductible
By using our service, instead of going through insurance, you can keep your out of pocket costs low and avoid surprise billing. Read our blog for a more detailed explanation of the above 6 advantages.
Check out this video here on my FB page to see how DPC can shave off expenses from your deductible.
Listen to Dr. Chad Savage explain the fallacy of insurance and how you can save money with a DPC membership.
How much does Direct Primary Care cost compared to Concierge Medicine?
The pricing for new members is less than the cost of your cell phone bill, or a dinner for two, each month, yet the service is comparable to, if not better than, the well-known Concierge Medicine services that cost 3 - 6 times as much. In our prices, we don't discriminate by age. Because we value family relationships, we provide significant discounts for additional family members. The payment process begins only after a friendly video call or an in-person meeting has been conducted to ensure a suitable fit between the healthcare provider and the member.
What are the benefits of Direct Primary Care?
Direct Primary Care (DPC) simplifies billing and often reduces healthcare costs with a flat monthly fee. It provides better access to doctors, longer visits, and a focus on preventive care.
