What Is Direct Primary Care?
The Direct Primary Care (DPC) style of healthcare prioritizes you and your health first. Through a straightforward monthly membership, DPC establishes a direct line of communication between you and your doctor, eliminating the need to deal with insurance companies, copays, and rushed appointments.
Think of it as a gym membership for your healthcare. Its one affordable monthly fee gives you unlimited access to complete primary care services without the hassle of traditional insurance billing.

How DPC Works With Your Insurance
DPC is NOT insurance. This membership takes care of your primary care needs. Most likely, you’ll still need insurance for:
- Hospital stays
- Emergency room visits
- Specialist care
- Major surgeries
- Prescription coverage (though we offer significant discounts)
The Perfect Combination: Many of our members pair their DPC membership with a high-deductible health plan, which typically costs less and provides peace of mind for major medical expenses.

Frequently Asked Questions about Direct Primary Care Membership
Can I use my HSA or FSA for membership fees?
Yes! Many members successfully use their Health Savings Account (HSA) or Flexible Spending Account (FSA) to pay their monthly membership fees.
What if I need to see a specialist?
We’ll coordinate your referrals and help you find the right specialists. While specialist visits aren’t covered by your DPC membership, we’ll work to make sure you get the care you need.
What happens if I need emergency care?
For true emergencies, go to the emergency room. Your DPC membership provides excellent follow-up care and coordination with emergency providers.
Can my whole family join?
Absolutely! Each family member needs their own membership, but everyone receives the same comprehensive care and direct access to Dr. Sanders.

Your employer can sign up the whole office, giving employees access to affordable, convenient primary care without the hassle of insurance. It’s a cost-effective way to support workplace wellness and reduce time lost to doctor visits.
How do I cancel if needed?
We require 30 days’ notice to cancel your membership. We’re confident you’ll love the care you receive, but we keep the process simple if your needs change.
