1,932 of the 1,966 Direct Primary Care practices in the Connectedly Health directory are accepting new patients, across 50 states and 1,170 cities. Specialist practices are counted apart: 285 of them are accepting new patients too. Direct Primary Care (DPC) doctors keep small patient panels, so most can take new members quickly and without a referral.
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.

Most are. 1,932 of the 1,966 Direct Primary Care practices in the Connectedly Health directory are accepting new patients, across 50 states and 1,170 cities. Availability is set by each practice and can change, so confirm directly when you reach out.
No. Direct Primary Care is a monthly membership you pay directly to the practice, with no insurance required. Many members keep a separate high-deductible or catastrophic plan for hospital and specialty care, but it is not needed to join.
Find a practice in your state or city, review its membership fee and services, and contact the practice to enroll. Most DPC practices let you start within days and do not require a referral.
Yes. Since January 1, 2026, Direct Primary Care membership fees are qualified medical expenses under the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, so you can pay them tax-free from a Health Savings Account. If the membership is $150 a month or less for one person ($300 for a plan covering more than one), you also keep the right to contribute to your HSA while enrolled; above that, an HSA can still pay the fee, but you cannot contribute for the months you are enrolled. You still need an HSA-eligible high-deductible health plan to contribute, and FSA or HRA reimbursement depends on the rules of your plan.
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.
