Local Care Direct

In the United States, direct primary care (DPC) is a type of primary care billing and payment arrangement made between patients and medical providers, without involving insurance providers. It is an umbrella term, incorporating various delivery systems that involve direct financial relationships between patients and health care providers. Health care providers that are in the direct primary care model, do not belong to insurer or TPA provider networks and contract directly with patients or self-insured employers. DPC practices typically have fewer patients in their panels compared to standard primary care providers with most DPC practices serving 200 to 600 patients per provider. The American Academy of Family Physicians endorsed DPC.
