What is Direct Primary Care?
Direct Primary Care (DPC) is a healthcare model where you pay your doctor a flat monthly fee (typically $50-150/month) for unlimited access to primary care services. There's no insurance involved — you pay the doctor directly, and they provide comprehensive care without the hassle of billing insurance companies.
What DPC Includes
- Unlimited office visits (no copays)
- Extended appointment times (30-60 minutes vs 7-10 minutes typical)
- Same-day or next-day appointments
- Direct communication with your doctor (text, email, or call)
- Basic lab work and procedures at no extra cost
- Wholesale prescription prices (deeply discounted)
- Care coordination and specialist referrals
DPC + Health Sharing = Complete Coverage
While DPC handles your everyday healthcare needs, it doesn't cover major medical events like surgeries, hospital stays, or emergencies. That's where health sharing comes in. Health share programs cover the big stuff — typically up to $1 million per incident — while DPC keeps you healthy day-to-day.
This combination gives you comprehensive coverage at a fraction of the cost of traditional health insurance, with better access to your doctor and no insurance bureaucracy. Compare health share programs to find the perfect match for your DPC membership.
Why Choose Direct Primary Care?
Traditional insurance creates a barrier between you and your doctor. With insurance, appointments are rushed (7-10 minutes), copays add up ($25-75 per visit), and getting an appointment can take weeks. DPC removes these barriers entirely.
With DPC, you get: Same-day or next-day appointments, 30-60 minute visits where your doctor actually listens, direct text/email access to your doctor, wholesale prescription prices (often 80-90% cheaper), and comprehensive preventive care—all for one simple monthly fee.
Finding the Right DPC Practice
When choosing a DPC practice, look for:
- Practice Type: Pure DPC (no insurance accepted), Hybrid (accepts some insurance), or On-Site (employer-based)
- Monthly Fee: Ranges from $50-150/month for adults, often discounted rates for children and families
- Services Included: What's covered in your monthly fee vs what costs extra
- Doctor-Patient Ratio: Smaller patient panels (300-800) mean more time with your doctor
- Communication Access: Can you text or email your doctor? How quickly do they respond?

Frequently Asked Questions About Direct Primary Care
Everything you need to know about finding and using a DPC doctor near you
How much does Direct Primary Care cost per month?
Most DPC practices charge between $50-150 per month for adults. Children typically cost $25-75/month, and many practices offer family discounts. This monthly fee covers unlimited office visits, basic lab work, and direct access to your doctor with no copays or surprise bills.
What's the difference between DPC and traditional insurance?
DPC is not insurance—it's a membership model for primary care. You pay your doctor directly for unlimited access, rather than going through an insurance company. DPC handles everyday healthcare (checkups, minor illnesses, chronic disease management) while health sharing or insurance covers major medical events (surgeries, hospital stays, emergencies).
Can I use DPC with health sharing?
Yes! DPC pairs perfectly with health sharing. DPC covers your everyday primary care needs ($50-150/mo), while health sharing covers major medical expenses ($100-400/mo). Together, they provide comprehensive coverage for $150-550/mo total—far less than traditional insurance.

Specific services vary by practice, so check with your local DPC doctor.
Is DPC worth it if I'm healthy?
Yes. Even if you're healthy, DPC provides preventive care, routine checkups, and immediate access when you do get sick. The monthly cost is often less than a single copay with traditional insurance. Plus, longer appointments mean your doctor can catch health issues early, potentially saving you thousands in major medical costs down the line.
Does DPC cover specialists or hospital stays?
