Direct Healthcare

Direct Healthcare operates as a direct primary care practice. Members pay a monthly membership fee and gain direct access to a personal physician. The practice charges no copays, files no insurance claims, and carries no deductibles. Members handle most routine needs by phone, text, or telehealth without coming into the office.
