Direct Primary Care is a membership-based healthcare model where patients pay their physician directly for a broad range of primary care services. It removes many insurance restrictions and supports more accessible, personalized care.
Membership includes routine primary care such as checkups, preventive care, chronic disease management, same-day or next-day appointments, basic in-office labs, and many office procedures.
Direct Primary Care is not health insurance. Many members keep a high-deductible or major medical plan for emergencies, hospitalization, specialist care, and services outside the practice.
Members may communicate directly through phone, text, email, video visits, and in-person appointments, including help when health concerns arise outside normal office hours.
“Patients value having more time to talk through concerns and feeling heard during appointments.”
“Members appreciate being able to contact their physician directly when questions or illnesses arise.”
“Transparent pricing helps families understand costs before choosing labs, medications, imaging, or procedures.”
“The practice is known throughout Pooler and Savannah for attentive, relationship-based family medicine.”
