Direct primary care (DPC) is one of the building blocks we use at Nunes Partners to create an affordable healthcare plan that protects you from unexpected medical bills. Direct primary care allows you to see your doctor and receive personalized care as often as you need with no deductible or copay. How does this work? You’ll pay a monthly subscription, similar to a gym membership, and have access to unlimited online or in-person appointments with your primary care doctor.
Nunes Partners has connections with direct primary care providers nationwide, so no matter where you live, we can help you receive the affordable care that you deserve. Direct primary care is a healthcare solution that allows you to bypass insurance for the majority of your day-to-day health needs.
DPC allows you to receive medical care from your primary care doctor without insurance, copays, or third-party billing. You pay a flat monthly membership fee directly to your provider, which typically includes:
Direct primary care allows you to avoid the high markups that come through negotiating with health insurance. DPC practices also usually provide discounted rates for couples and families, saving you even more on your healthcare costs.
The direct primary care model allows you to prioritize preventative health. Because you can see your doctor whenever you need at no additional cost, they’re able to catch health issues early. You never have to weigh the cost of a visit with the pain you’re experiencing from an injury or illness. You’ll build a personal relationship with your doctor, and since DPC providers usually only accept a limited number of patients, you’ll typically be seen the same day or next day. You’ll spend less time in the waiting room and more time receiving care, as most appointments average 30-60 minutes with your provider.
DPC will take care of 80-90% of your medical needs, but we still recommend having a major medical or medical cost sharing plan for emergencies and treatment that is not covered under your DPC membership.
According to the Direct Primary Care Coalition, there are over 1600 direct primary care practices nationwide. Nunes Partners operates out of Colorado Springs, but we can help you locate the best direct primary care doctors near you.
When you’re ready, we’ll help you sign up for a membership and discuss additional coverage options. We want to make sure that you are protected financially in case of a medical emergency and have access to the treatment you need.
