Provider Recruitment
Direct primary care
Let’s build a better
model of healthcare
Imagine a healthcare model where the relationship between provider and patient is built on trust, open communication, and access—without inflated costs, administrative hurdles, and the intrusion of insurance companies.
The direct primary care (DPC) model gives family physicians and nurse practitioners a meaningful alternative to fee-for-service insurance billing, typically by charging patients a monthly, quarterly, or annual fee. This fee covers all or most primary care services, including clinical and laboratory services, consultative services, care coordination, and comprehensive care management.
Quality time, quality care Welcome to a place to where providers can build lasting connections with their patients
Benefits for Providers
DPC allows family physicians or advanced practice nurses to care for the whole person while reducing the overhead and negative incentives associated with fee-for-service, third-party-payer billing. Benefits of DPC to providers include:
- More time with patients
- Better work/life balance
- Simplified revenue structure
- Decreased practice overhead
- Reduced administrative burden
- Standard weekly schedule and hours
Benefits for Patients
Patients of DPC providers see benefits too, such as:
- Better health outcomes - This delivery model provides better access to physicians, empowers an authentic therapeutic relationship, and encourages comprehensive patient care.
- Lower costs - Patients can expect affordable, transparent costs based on a periodic overall flat rate (i.e. membership or subscription). There are no third parties or Fee-for-Service billing (“FFS”) to inflate costs. Most DPC memberships/subscriptions cost less than the average cell phone bill.
- Enhanced patient experience - Patients receive unrestricted access to their healthcare provider, report little to no wait time, and experience longer appointments (in person, virtually, or by phone).
