DPC replaces traditional insurance billing for primary care with a flat monthly membership: monthly membership plans range from $20 to $150, with an average of $82 per month. In exchange, patients get longer appointments (often 30–60 minutes), same-day or next-day availability, and direct physician access by phone, text, or email.
96 of those practices (98%) are currently accepting new patients. 61 offer telehealth visits, useful for residents in rural counties or for follow-up care between in-person appointments. Coverage now reaches 53 North Carolina cities, so most patients can find a DPC option within driving distance. At $82/mo, the typical North Carolina DPC membership sits below the national average of $91/mo.

Direct Primary Care is a membership model where you pay your doctor a flat monthly fee for unlimited primary care — longer visits, same- or next-day access, and direct phone or text contact — with no insurance billing, copays, or surprise bills for covered services.
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.
All 152 direct primary care providers in North Carolina are verified against the U.S. federal NPPES (National Provider Identifier) registry maintained by CMS.
