Direct Primary Care
A new road to old-fashioned care.
What is Direct Primary Care?
This is how our Direct Primary Care (DPC) membership management partner, Hint Health, describes DPC:
Simply put: Direct Care is provider-based healthcare. Rather than being plan centric, where the primary loyalty is between the patient and a third party administrator, Direct Care makes a doctor-patient relationship the anchor of the healthcare experience. Direct Care providers collect a monthly membership fee directly from these patients… in exchange for modern access to a predetermined list of services. There are no co-pays or other ‘tolls’ to disincent patient engagement with the care team. There are no insurance claims submitted or third-party billing of any kind. This brings tremendous efficiency to the relationship, allowing provider[s]… to dramatically… [reduce] patient out-of-pocket costs.
Even with Z(ed)‘s prowess for wordsmithing, we cannot articulate DPC better than the DPC advocates at DPC Nation (dpcnation.org). We encourage you to read their essays on what is DPC and why DPC is needed.
