Direct Primary Care

Internist & Pediatrician in New Braunfels, TX

What Is Direct Primary Care (DPC)?

Direct Primary Care (DPC) is a modern approach to healthcare that brings back the focus to you and your doctor— without the interference of insurance companies.

Instead of paying for each visit or dealing with copays and deductibles, you pay a simple, affordable monthly membership fee that covers your primary care services.

This model allows for more time, better communication, and truly personalized care.

How It Works

  • Membership-Based Care:
    You pay a flat monthly fee that covers most primary care needs — office visits, telemedicine, preventive care, chronic disease management, and more.
  • No Insurance Middlemen:
    We work directly with you — not your insurance company — to make healthcare simple and transparent.
  • Unlimited Access:
    Members can schedule appointments as needed without worrying about extra charges for visits.

The Benefits of Direct Primary Care

  1. Personalized, Accessible Care
    You’ll have direct access to your physician through secure messaging, phone, or telehealth. Appointments are unhurried, with ample time to discuss your health concerns.
  2. Transparent Pricing
    No surprise bills or confusing insurance claims. One low monthly fee covers most of your care, and any additional services (like labs or medications) are provided at wholesale pricing whenever possible.
  3. More Time with Your Doctor
    DPC practices have fewer patients than traditional clinics, allowing your doctor to spend quality time focusing on your needs — not paperwork.
  4. Preventive, Proactive Medicine
    Because you have easy access to your doctor, small problems can be addressed before they become serious, helping you stay healthier long-term.
  5. Convenient Communication
    Text, call, or video chat directly with your physician. Get medical advice or care without unnecessary office visits when appropriate.
  6. Affordable and Predictable
    Most members find DPC lowers their overall healthcare costs by reducing urgent care, ER visits, and unnecessary specialist referrals.

Who Benefits from DPC?

  • Individuals and families looking for a closer doctor-patient relationship
  • Small business owners or self-employed individuals seeking affordable primary care
  • Patients with chronic conditions needing frequent follow-up
  • Anyone frustrated with rushed, impersonal, or insurance-driven medicine
