DPC Pricing Index by State (2026)

What 2,776+ verified Direct Primary Care providers actually charge — real published fees, not estimates.

Direct Primary Care replaces per-visit billing with a flat monthly membership — and unlike most of healthcare, the prices are public. This index is built from the fees that 2,776+ verified providers across 2,106+ practices actually publish on Connectedly Health, not from surveys or estimates. The national median membership is $80/month for an individual adult (average $93), and most memberships fall between $50 and $150. That fee typically covers unlimited or generous office visits, same-day or next-day access, direct messaging with your physician, and basic in-office procedures.

DPC Costs by State

Every row is computed from the providers currently listed in that state. States with few providers (Alaska, the Dakotas, DC) show the prices of those individual practices rather than a broad market rate.

* “pending” marks three states whose average is being recomputed after a data fix; ranges shown are raw listed prices and may include family-plan outliers under review.

What Drives the Price of a DPC Membership

The spread between Wyoming's $42/month and Hawaii's $145/month comes down to a few concrete factors. Cost of living and overhead matter most: rent, staff wages, and malpractice premiums vary enormously by state, and a membership fee is mostly a share of a clinic's fixed costs. Panel size is the second lever — a physician capping their panel at 300 patients must charge more per member than one serving 600, and smaller panels usually mean faster access and longer visits, so a higher fee often buys something real. What's bundled varies too: some practices fold in wholesale labs, dispensed medications at cost, or home visits, while others price those separately — which is why two clinics in the same city can sit $50 apart and both be fairly priced. Finally, age banding is common: many practices charge less for children and young adults and more for members over 50 or 65, so the single adult figure in this index is the midpoint of a range most practices publish openly. When you compare practices, look past the headline fee to the panel size, the visit policy, and the included services — the cheapest membership isn't automatically the best value, and the priciest usually isn't padding.

How We Calculate These Numbers

Every figure in this index is computed from the membership fees published on the 2,776+ verified provider listings in the Connectedly Health directory, refreshed as practices update their pricing. We report the median as the headline number because a handful of premium practices would otherwise pull averages upward; the typical range is the 10th–90th percentile, so one unusually cheap or expensive clinic doesn't distort it. Figures reflect individual adult memberships — child, family, and employer plans are excluded from these aggregates, as are one-time enrollment fees (typically $0–$150, disclosed on each practice's listing). We don't estimate: states with only a couple of listed practices show those practices' real prices, clearly labeled.

DPC Pricing FAQ

How much does direct primary care cost per month?

The national median is $80/month for an individual adult, based on 2,776+ verified providers. Most memberships fall between $50 and $150/month; children are usually discounted, and many practices offer family caps.

What does a DPC membership include?

Typically unlimited or generous primary-care visits, same-day or next-day appointments, direct calls and texts to your physician, annual physicals, and basic in-office procedures. Many practices add wholesale-price labs and medications. Each listing on Connectedly Health shows exactly what's bundled.

Can I pay for DPC with my HSA or FSA?

Yes. The One Big Beautiful Bill Act (H.R.1) made DPC memberships HSA-eligible starting January 1, 2026 — monthly fees up to $150 per individual (or $300 per family) qualify as tax-deductible medical expenses payable with pre-tax dollars. At $80/month, the typical membership fits under that cap.

Is DPC cheaper than using insurance for primary care?

It depends on how you use care. A membership at $80/month is often less than the copays and deductible spending a frequent primary-care user pays through insurance, and prices are known in advance. For someone who sees a doctor once a year, insurance-covered primary care may cost less out of pocket. DPC's advantage is predictability and access, not automatic savings.

Do I still need health insurance with DPC?

DPC covers everyday primary care, not hospitalizations, emergencies, or specialists. Most members pair a membership with a high-deductible or catastrophic plan (or a health-sharing plan) for major events.

Are there fees beyond the monthly membership?

Some practices charge a one-time enrollment fee (commonly $0–$150). Labs, imaging, and medications may cost extra — usually at or near wholesale prices. DPC practices disclose fees up front; every Connectedly Health listing shows the published price before you contact the practice.

Why do prices differ so much between states?

Overhead (rent, wages, malpractice premiums), physician panel sizes, and what's bundled into the membership. Low-provider states reflect a few real practices, not a market average.
