Why People Look at Healthcare Differently
Rising monthly costs
Premiums and other monthly costs add up before you ever see a doctor.
High out-of-pocket exposure
Deductibles, specialists, hospital care and prescriptions all cost extra.
Hard-to-understand pricing
Healthcare prices are hard to compare. Asking what's included, what's left out and who pays makes it clearer.
No single answer fits every household
Your care needs, household size and budget all change what makes sense.

Common Questions
What is Direct Primary Care?
You pay a primary care practice a flat fee, usually monthly, for the primary care services in your agreement. Services, fees and terms vary by practice, so read the agreement before you join.
Is Direct Primary Care the same as health insurance?
No. DPC is a way to get and pay for primary care. It is not health insurance. Many people pair it with insurance or a healthshare to cover bigger bills.
Can Direct Primary Care replace health insurance?
DPC covers primary care, not hospital, specialist or emergency bills. Whether you need more depends on your situation and the membership you choose.
How much does Direct Primary Care cost in Charlotte?
There's no single Charlotte price. Each practice sets its own fee. Ask for the current monthly price, what's included, what's not, and any extra charges.
