Intentionally few. A smaller panel is what makes unhurried visits and same- or next-business-day availability possible.
Unlimited visits, virtual care, direct messaging during business hours, annual wellness planning, preventive care, women’s health, routine procedures, and coordination with specialists. Labs, imaging, and medications are billed at transparent cost or through your insurance.
Membership covers more than sick visits: preventive care, wellness planning, women’s health, chronic condition management, and direct messaging when a question comes up. Many members find the greatest value in never having to wonder who to call.
Not exactly. Direct Primary Care removes insurance billing from the relationship between you and your physician, which allows longer appointments, better access, and more personalized care — without the fees typical of concierge practices.
Absolutely. Membership is designed to work alongside your health plan, and it pairs especially well with a high-deductible plan where routine primary care would otherwise come out of pocket.
