About

What Is Direct Primary Care?

At Whole Human Health, we use a modern, patient-first model called Direct Primary Care (DPC). This approach removes the red tape of insurance billing, giving you direct access to your physician and transparent pricing with no hidden fees.

Instead of paying through insurance, patients pay a flat monthly fee directly to the practice. This means more time with your doctor, less waiting, and a healthcare experience built around you.

Is this concierge medicine?

No—DPC offers many of the same benefits (longer visits, direct access), but without the high fees typically associated with concierge practices. It’s designed to be more affordable and accessible.
