Direct primary care is the healthcare model employed by the physicians at ProPartners Healthcare. It enhances patient access to physicians, improves quality of care, and reduces costs.
The DPC model enables our physicians to:
“Direct” means NO middlemen between you and your doctor. No insurance companies will dictate your care. You will receive direct access to your personal doctor any time you need it. You can call, text, or email your doctor’s mobile phone 24/7. Plus, you can schedule same-day appointments during office hours. You pay a flat monthly fee for unlimited office visits and direct primary care from your doctor. 
“Primary” means one physician manages all your healthcare needs. While some use multiple providers, having one doctor who knows you is better. Ninety percent of your healthcare can be handled by your primary care doctor, and our DPC model ensures they’re always available.
A relationship with a DPC doctor greatly reduces the need for secondary care, like hospital visits, ER trips, or specialist referrals. Patients maintain better health and save money with preventative care, often avoiding costly ER visits.
Your DPC doctor is your first resource for health advice and advocates for your long-term health. Unlike insurance-based doctors, DPC physicians prioritize your well-being over unnecessary tests or referrals. 
“Care” refers to the quality of treatment, and our patients have nothing but glowing things to say about our physicians, staff, and approach. High-quality primary healthcare and creating a positive patient experience are directly related to the time spent with your doctor.
Most hospitals and healthcare facilities prioritize patient volume. This means physicians are overextended, thus, truncating appointment times and impacting the quality of care.
Our direct primary care doctors limit the number of patients they care for to less than 1/3 of what other primary care doctors take on. That means you have access when you need it, un-rushed visits, a doctor who actually listens, and is empathetic and considerate of your needs and concerns. The healthcare space has no shortage of terminology and descriptors of physician services. Some terms are used interchangeably when they shouldn’t be, and “concierge medicine” is one we hear most frequently.
The following are the main differences between concierge medicine and the DPC model.
