Direct Primary Care (DPC)

What is DPC?

Direct Primary Care (DPC) is affordable, accessible, comprehensive and personal primary healthcare without the interference of insurance companies, or other third parties. Using a membership model, you get incredible access to your doctor, and most services, for just a monthly fee. AffirmHD Direct Primary Care, or AffirmHD DPC, was the original and first of its kind in the Pataskala, OH area. All patients are welcome! No insurance is taken or billed. .

Why join a DPC practice?

Do you want more time with your doctor?
Do you want more proactive than reactive healthcare?
Do you wish your doctor was more of a partner?
Do you want more access to your doctor when you need it?
Do you want to have a clear picture of your healthcare costs?

If you answered yes to any of these questions, then a Direct Primary Care practice may be a great option for you

Is DPC membership financially worth it to you?

We accept patients (insured, uninsured, etc). We just don’t bill these third parties. Although you have insurance, you still have to pay multiple fees for your health related visits! Each clinic visit results in a copay and clinic visit charge. Some local clinics also charge an additional “facility fee”.

Although many clinics now provide “virtual” or “tele-health” visits since the COVID-19 pandemic, each of these also incurs a fee. It is the industry standard to charge separately for clinic procedures in addition to your copay, clinic visit charge, and possible facility fee.

Urgent care visit charges are often higher than clinic visits. All these copays, charges and fees add up! With four visits a year you have paid the same amount as or more than a year of our membership!

In fact, the dirty little secret to health insurance is that “employees will pay an average of $2,487 in out-of-pocket costs, such as copayments, coinsurance and deductibles”. That article’s price is from 2014, and those prices have only gone up! Since a one year membership for a family up to 5 costs $2,100, you may SAVE money if you have insurance and join our direct primary care practice!
