Thrive Direct Primary Care

Thrive Direct Primary Care is a membership based primary care practice located in Hendersonville, Tennessee. The practice operates under the Direct Primary Care model, which means patients pay a flat monthly fee in exchange for access to a range of primary care services without billing insurance for routine visits. This model is designed to simplify healthcare by removing traditional insurance barriers and allowing for more direct communication between patient and physician.

Thrive Direct Primary Care was founded by Dr. Michael Chad Cozart, D.O. Dr. Cozart is trained in internal medicine and established the practice with a focus on building strong doctor patient relationships and improving access to care. By limiting patient panel size and operating outside of traditional insurance reimbursement structures, the practice aims to provide longer appointment times and more personalized attention.

Membership typically includes services such as preventive care, chronic disease management, treatment for acute illnesses, and certain in office procedures. Patients often benefit from same or next day appointments and the ability to communicate directly with their physician. Thrive Direct Primary Care welcomes individuals with or without insurance who are seeking a more relationship centered and transparent approach to primary healthcare.
