Direct Primary Care (DPC)
What is Direct Primary Care?
Direct Primary Care (DPC) is a membership-based model that restores the personal relationship with your physician and supports your overall well-being. Instead of billing through insurance, you pay your primary care physician directly, eliminating barriers and allowing us to focus solely on your health.
Why Choose Direct Primary Care?
Direct Primary Care (DPC) is a modern return to personalized medicine—restoring the physician-patient relationship and removing third-party delays and hidden costs. DPC empowers patients and physicians to make health and financial decisions together, providing high-quality, patient-centered care delivered directly, when you need it.
At Integrative Osteopathic Family Medicine of Vermont, membership includes annual visits, urgent care, follow-ups, comprehensive care, wholesale pricing on medications and lab testing, and access to integrative services such as Acupuncture, Osteopathic Manipulation, and Trigger Point treatment.
The DPC model is growing across the U.S. and has been endorsed by the American Academy of Family Physicians as an effective model for primary care. Data show it leads to lower costs, fewer hospitalizations, fewer unnecessary procedures, and better health outcomes.
