DPC Medicine in a nutshell:
Direct Primary Care is a revolutionary model of healthcare that focuses on providing personalized care without involving a third party. DPC is a growing movement with over 1200 practices across the US. Instead of allowing insurance companies to dictate what your pediatrician does (and often stand in the way of appropriate treatment), you pay a monthly membership fee and, in exchange, you get direct access to your physician. This means your physician works for you, not the insurance companies. This leads to huge cost reductions while simultaneously returning medical care to what matters — your health.
