What is Direct Primary Care?
Direct Primary Care (DPC) is a healthcare model that prioritizes the doctor patient relationship, offering a more personalized approach to medical care. By eliminating the constraints of insurance and the impersonal nature of large corporate practices, DPC allows for more meaningful interactions and tailored treatment plans.
What does that mean for the patient?
You pay a monthly fee for direct access to your pediatric healthcare team. Instead of calling the office and waiting on hold while you cross your fingers that there will be an available appointment for your sick child, you can schedule your own appointment on-line. Instead of hoping that the provider you see is someone who knows your child, you are guaranteed a visit with a trusted doctor who knows you and your child personally. Instead of billing hassles, price confusion and endless forms to fill at each visit, you receive all the care you need for one monthly price.
DPC might be right for ...
-
Parents who prefer to see the same doctor at every visit
-
Families with high-deductible insurance plans who usually pay for every office visit no matter how minor the issue
-
Parents who want longer visits to ensure all their questions are addressed and reassurance on what they are facing with their child
-
Families who need appointments with short wait times and ease of scheduling (online scheduling of appointments for those midnight coughs)
-
Parents who want to be able to text or email their pediatrician to address certain concerns without having to make a trip into the office
