Care That Puts You First
Work with a doctor who works for you - not insurance companies or corporations.
A trusted doctor-patient relationship is proven to lead to better health outcomes.
Direct care is a practice model structured around direct contracting with patients for monthly or annual fees which serve to replace the traditional system of third-party insurance coverage for primary care services.
A membership payment provides patients enhanced services over traditional fee-for-service medicine. Such services may include direct access to their personal physician, extended visits, home visits, and personalized, comprehensive care.
The direct care model enables physicians to spend more time with their patients, both in face-to-face visits, and through telephonic or electronic communications, since they are not bound by insurance reimbursement restrictions.
The direct care model emphasizes and prioritizes the intrinsic power of the relationship between a patient and their physician to improve health outcomes and lower healthcare costs. The American Academy of Family Physicians supports direct care as an innovative advanced practice model.
