What is Direct Primary Care?

DPC brings healthcare back to its roots—a trusted relationship between you and your doctor, focused on your long-term health and well-being.

Direct Primary Care (DPC) is a healthcare model that simplifies access to primary care by removing insurance barriers. At INcircle Health, this means:

  • Flat Monthly Membership Fee: Covers unlimited visits and direct access to your doctor.

  • No Insurance Hassles: No copays, deductibles, or surprise bills.

  • Personalized Care: Longer, unhurried appointments tailored to your needs.

  • Direct Communication: Easy access to your physician via phone, text, or email.

  • Focus on Wellness: Emphasis on preventive care, early detection, and chronic disease management.

  • Transparent Pricing: Clear costs without hidden fees.

  • No Insurance Required: Membership is open to everyone, regardless of insurance status.
