Direct Primary Care (DPC) is a healthcare model designed to revolutionize how primary care services are delivered and experienced. At its core, DPC is about creating a stronger, more personalized relationship between the patient and their physician. Unlike the traditional insurance-based system, where care is often rushed and fragmented due to the need to manage large patient panels and navigate complex billing processes, DPC operates on a simple and transparent membership model. In a DPC practice, patients pay a flat, periodic fee—typically on a monthly or annual basis—that covers a wide range of primary care services. This fee structure eliminates the need for insurance companies to be involved in routine primary care, thereby removing the administrative burdens that often interfere with patient care in traditional settings. As a result, physicians can focus entirely on their patients without the pressure to meet quotas or perform unnecessary procedures to satisfy insurance requirements.

Unlike traditional primary care, DPC does not rely on insurance billing. This allows for longer patient visits, a more personalized approach, and direct access to your physician. It also eliminates fee-for-service incentives, ensuring that care decisions are based on value rather than volume.

While insurance is not required for an ON Care membership, it is recommended to have insurance for more complex specialty care and catastrophic events. Many patients pair DPC with a high-deductible health plan or a HealthShare plan to cover these needs. If your preferred options are PPO or HMO (two of the most common types of health insurance), PPO will probably work best with an ON Care membership. HMOs typically require you to select a Primary Care Physician in their network that is the only one allowed to refer you to specialists when needed. PPOs on the other hand are more flexible, they typically allow to yo go "out-of-network", and we can refer you to most specialists directly.

DPC restores the patient-physician relationship by removing the barriers created by insurance. It offers personalized, proactive care in a more relaxed and responsive environment, which can lead to better health outcomes and higher patient satisfaction. DPC physicians can focus entirely on their patients without the pressure to meet quotas or perform unnecessary procedures to satisfy insurance requirements. The goal is to foster a deep, ongoing relationship that enhances overall health and well-being. While DPC covers a broad spectrum of primary care needs—estimated to meet 80-90% of a person's healthcare requirements—it is often recommended that patients maintain a high-deductible insurance plan or a Healthshare plan for more complex, specialty care and catastrophic events. This combination can lead to significant savings on healthcare costs, typically around 20-30% on average.

DPC is suitable for individuals and families seeking a more personal and responsive healthcare experience. It’s particularly beneficial for those who value regular, accessible communication with their doctor and want to take a proactive approach to their health.
