The American health insurance system, as it stands, has a long tradition of inefficacies leaving out millions of Americans from accessing quality healthcare. Direct Primary Care (DPC) is an innovative alternative payment model improving access to high functioning healthcare providers with a simple, flat, affordable membership fee. No fee-for-service payments. No third-party billing. Allowing unprecedented access and continuity. DPC primarily focuses on creating doctor- patient relationships on a basis of trust and effective communication. You can expect DPC practices to have shorter waiting room times and longer patient appointments when compared to corporate healthcare system models or fee-for-service models.
