DPC is a healthcare model that prioritizes the patient-physician relationship by removing the intermediary role of insurance companies. Patients pay a monthly or annual membership fee directly to their pediatric practice, which covers a comprehensive range of primary care services, allowing for more personalized and accessible care.

DPC memberships often cover a wide range of primary care services, including well-child visits, sick visits, and telehealth visits. The specific services may vary depending on the practice.

While DPC covers many primary care services, it is not a replacement for health insurance. Patients are encouraged to maintain a high-deductible health plan or catastrophic coverage for emergencies, hospitalizations, and specialist care.

DPC membership fees are often more affordable than paying for frequent office visits and copays under traditional insurance plans. DPC practices can offer more transparent and cost-effective pricing by eliminating insurance overhead.

DPC pediatric practices typically serve children from birth through adolescence, though some may continue to see patients into early adulthood. Check with your specific practice for their age guidelines.
