Direct Primary Care or “DPC” is a model of health care delivery in which enrolled members pay a set monthly fee for quick and convenient access to a broad scope of direct primary care services. These services are provided by a personal physician, who creates health plans specifically for you.

In contrast to the “fee-for-service” payment system common to most health insurance plans, DPC does not discourage patient access to care they need by charging copays and deductibles each time they access care. When getting care at a Solidaritus Health Center, for example, or online through a telemedicine visit with your personal Solidaritus Health physicians, you will never need to reach into your pocket for a credit card or cash.

Solidaritus Health doctors are personally responsible for providing a broad scope of direct primary care services to as few as ¼ the number of patients seen by a typical primary care doctor in the standard fee-for-service insurance system. That means Solidaritus Health direct primary care doctors have the time to get to know their patients, provide high-quality care that meets their needs, understand their individual health goals, and coach their patients to achieving them.

Health Goals: Solidaritus physicians are partners in helping each of their patients achieve personal health goals, even if they are completely healthy. Do you want to condition for a new sport? Do you want to become a marathon runner, or jog in a 5-K fun run? Are you training for an elite sport, or do you just want to lose a few pounds? Skilled Solidaritus physicians are partners and coaches to their patients in achieving their individual health goals.

Urgent Care: Everybody is susceptible to getting sick or injured at unexpected times. Just one or two visits to an urgent care center or an emergency room can cost far more than annual fees for unlimited access to a personal Solidaritus physician and the full scope of Solidaritus Health direct primary care services.

Prevention: Regular, preventive health care, while you are healthy, is extremely important for continued good health over the course of a person’s life. Most Americans become afflicted with at least one chronic condition as they grow older — conditions which would have been completely avoidable with the help of individualized care from a personal primary care doctor.
