Healthcare is constantly changing in today's world. And navigating it all can be overwhelming. The idea of a new type of family care can be a turn off, simply because it is yet another choice to consider.  But direct primary care is easy to understand. 

Direct primary care (DPC) is simply a type of primary care billing and payment arrangement made between patients and providers, without sending claims to insurance providers.
