What is direct primary care (DPC)?

DPC is a health care model that focuses on a direct financial relationship between patients and their primary care physicians, bypassing traditional insurance-based billing. In this model, you, as the patient, pay a monthly or annual fee directly to MD Aesthetics, which covers most primary care services. 

DPC is designed to enhance the doctor-patient relationship by eliminating the complexities and limitations associated with insurance companies, allowing for more personalized and accessible care.

How does direct primary care work?

In a DPC model, you typically pay a flat fee per month, depending on the services offered. The fee covers a wide range of primary care services, including:

Unlimited office visits

You can see your doctor as often as needed without worrying about additional costs.

Extended appointments

At MD Aesthetics, your DPC practitioners spend more time with you, allowing for thorough examinations and detailed discussions about your health concerns.

Enhanced accessibility

MD Aesthetics offers same-day or next-day appointments, as well as after-hours communication via phone, email, or text.

Comprehensive care

Services typically include preventive care, chronic disease management, minor procedures, and routine laboratory tests.

What are the benefits of direct primary care?

DPC offers numerous advantages for both patients and physicians, including:

Improved access to care

With fewer patients per physician, DPC practices can offer more timely and convenient appointments, often with same-day or next-day availability.

Stronger doctor-patient relationships

Longer appointment times and direct communication channels foster deeper relationships, allowing doctors to better understand and address their patients' unique health needs.

Transparent and predictable costs

The flat monthly fee structure eliminates the uncertainty of insurance co-pays and deductibles, making health care costs more predictable and manageable.

Preventive and proactive care

DPC encourages a focus on preventive care and early intervention, potentially reducing the need for more expensive specialist care and hospitalizations.

Reduced administrative burden

Without the need to process insurance claims, DPC practices like MD Aesthetics can operate more efficiently, allowing doctors to spend more time on patient care rather than paperwork.

Enhanced patient satisfaction

The personalized, accessible, and comprehensive nature of DPC often leads to higher patient satisfaction and better health outcomes.

Direct primary care represents a patient-centered approach to health care, prioritizing quality, accessibility, and affordability. Call today to learn more about DPC, or use the online scheduler to book an appointment.
