What is Direct Primary Care (DPC)?

Direct primary care simplifies your relationship with your doctor. No more insurance or confusing billing strategies. By eliminating the middle man, DPC allows you to focus on your health. For a monthly fee, you have direct access to your doctor, who can help with your medications, referrals, and laboratory & imaging needs.

You will enjoy longer appointment times & same or next day appointments for urgent care needs. Additionally, you will have easy & direct contact with your doctor through email, secure messaging and our online portal for any health issues that arise.

Why is direct primary care better for you?

Typical insurance-based healthcare is recommended for emergency care and subspecialty evaluation. We encourage you to have health insurance, but feel our services can cover 80-90% of your healthcare needs by providing excellent, quality primary care as part of your membership.

If you have a complicated problem or need further evaluation, we have negotiated reduced rates for laboratory and imaging studies with local providers. These prices are transparent and fixed for all our members to enjoy.

Fourth Tree Health strives to provide the highest quality primary care. By limiting our panel sizes, we are able to spend more time with our patients and provide truly personalized care. We will know your name, your medical problems, and your plan of care. No more feeling like you are an inconvenience to your doctor or care team.
