Direct Primary Care covers everyday primary care, but most members still keep a high-deductible or catastrophic insurance plan (or a health sharing plan) for emergencies, hospitalizations, and specialist care. DPC handles routine and preventive visits; insurance covers the big, unexpected costs.
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.
All 96 direct primary care providers in California are verified against the U.S. federal NPPES (National Provider Identifier) registry maintained by CMS.
Our direct primary care guidance draws on the American Academy of Family Physicians (AAFP) and DPC Frontier.
