What is Direct Primary Care (DPC)? |
DPC vs. Traditional Primary Care |
Known also as concierge care, retainer-based medicine, and concierge medicine, Direct Primary Care is membership-based healthcare that pairs exclusive, personalized care with accessibility and convenience. DPC is an alternative pay model that allows access to high quality healthcare at a monthly membership price. No more nickel and diming costs. No more third party payers.
What to Expect at Hawkins Medical & WellnessServices provided at a DPC Clinic are the same as those you would receive at a traditional primary care practice. Since the care is centered more around the patient, the service provided is more detailed than the traditional model. You will still have annual physical exams, laboratory tests, preventive screening, and vaccinations. Again, the most noticeable difference you'll notice is the access and time you are afforded.
|
A new patient can wait weeks to months to get an appointment with a traditional primary care physician. Traditional primary care physicians will have several thousand patients that call them "their doctor." Not only will you wait weeks, your appointment time with the physician will be no more than 10-15 minutes. That is not sufficient time to spend with patients and provide them with adequate care. DPC is focused on patient care and experience. Our patient population will stay very small compared to the traditional model. Appointments will be centered around providing patients with the best possible care. No appointment will be scheduled for less than 30 minutes at Hawkins Medical & Wellness, and one-hour appointments will be available.
