What is Direct Primary Care?
Direct Primary Care, or DPC, takes Primary Care back to what it is meant to be...where you have a close patient-provider relationship with your Nurse Practitioner and you partner together be your healthiest.
It operates through a monthly membership that provides unlimited and direct access to your Primary Care Nurse Practitioner without copays, deductibles and without billing or using insurance.
Time for You members get to text, call or have in-home visits with their provider for primary care services like physicals, preventive care, urgent care, managing chronic disease and mental healthcare, without worry of wait times, meeting a new medical provider when you don't feel well, or hidden fees. *
