What Sets us Apart?

Direct Primary Care (DPC)

Insurance-Based Practices

Emphasizes a continuous relationship with personalized care

Often limited due to time constraints and high patient volume

Flat monthly membership fee covering most primary care services

Fee-for-service model; costs billed to insurance and often including co-pays, deductibles

Clear, predictable costs with no hidden fees

Complex billing with variable costs and surprise medical bills

Includes a broad range of services such as comprehensive wellness checks, preventive care, and personalized management

Often limited to specific covered services, with less emphasis on comprehensive and preventive care

DPC provides timely access with same-day or next-day appointments and flexible scheduling

Many primary care doctors are inaccessible for timely appointments due to high patient volume/scheduling constraints

Longer, unhurried appointments (typically 45-75 minutes)

Shorter appointments (typically 10-15 minutes)

Smaller patient panel (~300 patients per physician)

Larger patient panel (~2000-3000 patients per physician)

Little to no wait on the day of the appointment

Longer wait times, often 30-45 minutes

Stronger, more personal relationship due to more time and smaller panel size

Often more transactional and limited in scope due to time constraints

No insurance needed for primary care services

Requires insurance for most services

Strong emphasis on preventive care and overall wellness

Often reactive care due to time and resource constraints

Continuous, personalized, evidence-based management with a holistic and cost-effective approach

Care varies widely; may be fragmented requiring multiple follow-up appointments due to insurance limitations

Access to wholesale-priced medications dispensed in-office

Medication costs vary; dependent on insurance coverage

At-cost discounted lab tests drawn in office and discounted cash-pay imaging services coordinated with local imaging center

Lab and imaging costs billed through insurance, often higher out-of-pocket expenses

No co-pays; all primary care services included in the membership fee

Co-pays often required for each visit or service, which can add up and create unexpected expenses

Minimal paperwork and no insurance billing

Significant administrative burden for patient and provider
