WHAT IS DIRECT PRIMARY CARE or DPC?

DPC is a healthcare model where patients pay a monthly membership fee for access to comprehensive primary care services. We emphasize a direct relationship between the patient and the provider with same-day or next-day appointments, extended visit times and easy access to your provider through various communication methods.

why should you choose direct primary care?

Particularly, individuals and families with high deductible plans, health savings accounts or health shares will save money with my NP direct. Also, if you are interested in optimizing your health with a personalized health and wellness plan or just disrupting they current health care system. At My NP Direct we are committed to transparency in pricing without any unexpected fees. In addition, members gain access to complimentary therapies including acupuncture, IV hydration therapy or alternative allergy therapy at a discounted rate.

can i use my insurance?

Yes. You will pay my NP direct at the time of service with your health savings account, cash or credit and then you can submit your bill yourself for out-of-network, and some in-network, reimbursement. This way the savings go directly to you and we are not paying any insurance companies to push the papers around so there are no surprise bills.

And no. Sadly, we are not able to see patients who have Medicare or Medicaid coverage at this time but will continue to explore options to serve all in our community.
