Direct Primary Care (DPC) involves a flat, transparent membership fee that covers most or all primary care services, with no additional charges like copays, deductibles, or coinsurance. In contrast, concierge or VIP practices typically charge an annual fee on top of billing your insurance, which means you still have to pay copays, meet deductibles, and potentially cover coinsurance for various services.
DPC is known for its clear and transparent pricing. You pay a single, all-inclusive fee, and there are no hidden charges or surprise bills. Concierge practices may have less predictable costs due to the combination of membership fees and insurance-related expenses, which can vary depending on the services you use.
