FAQS
The Direct Primary Care (DPC) model is a practice and payment model in which patients/consumers pay their physician or practice directly in the form of periodic payments for a defined set of primary care services. DPC practices typically charge patients a flat monthly and/or annual fee, under terms of a contract, in exchange for access to a broad range of primary care and medical administrative services. The DPC practice framework includes any practice model structured around direct contracting with patients/consumers for monthly and/or annual fees which serve to replace the traditional system of third party insurance coverage for primary care services. These periodic payments provide patients enhanced services including real time access via advanced communication technology to their personal physician, extended visits, in some cases home-based medical visits, and highly personalized, coordinated, and comprehensive care administration.
