Direct Primary Care, or DPC for short, is a membership-based healthcare model where the patient pays a monthly fee in exchange for ongoing preventive and routine medical care. DPC arrangements can be lower than the cost of your monthly phone bill, and provide unrestricted access to your primary physician to help keep you healthy.
However, DPC arrangements do not cover ER or hospital visits, as well as some specialist visits, lab tests, and more. This is why pairing DPC with health sharing is so effective.
