For those with a high deductible health plan or no insurance at all, Direct Primary Care offers significant cost savings over conventional doctor office visits.  Our low monthly price is far lower than most routine visits at a doctor office or urgent care.  Even patients with conventional insurance can benefit from DPC.  Rather than paying copays and deductibles, one monthly fee covers all of your primary healthcare needs.
