Direct Primary Care Doctors Accepting New Patients

Every one of the 2,110 Direct Primary Care practices in the Connectedly Health directory is currently accepting new patients, across 52 states and 1,167 cities. Direct Primary Care (DPC) doctors keep small patient panels, so most can take new members quickly and without a referral.

What "accepting new patients" means in DPC

Unlike traditional practices that often close their panels or add months-long waitlists, DPC doctors cap membership on purpose so they can offer same-week appointments, longer visits, and direct messaging. When a practice is listed here as accepting new patients, you can typically enroll and be seen within days.

Do I need health insurance to join a DPC practice?

Can I use my HSA to pay for a DPC membership?

Yes. As of January 1, 2026, DPC memberships are HSA-eligible under the One Big Beautiful Bill Act. Monthly fees up to $150 for individuals or $300 for families qualify as tax-deductible medical expenses.

How quickly can I be seen as a new DPC patient?

Because DPC doctors deliberately keep small patient panels, they typically offer same-week or same-day appointments once you enroll. Contact the practice directly to confirm current new-member availability.
