Question 14

Is this the same as concierge medicine?

Accepted Answer

Not exactly.

Question 20

How is Direct Primary Care different from traditional primary care?

Direct Primary Care removes insurance from routine care so your doctor can spend more time with you and focus on prevention, follow-through, and continuity.

Question 21

Why would I pay monthly if I already have insurance?
