Why Your Healthcare Choice Matters
At PriorityDirectMED, we believe that preventive care and wellness should be accessible to everyone—whether you own a business, are uninsured, or prefer traditional insurance-based care.

Our hybrid healthcare model combines the best of both worlds:
✅ Direct Primary Care (DPC) – A simple, affordable monthly membership for unlimited care
✅ Traditional Insurance-Based Care – Accepting major insurance plans for flexibility
This personalized approach ensures you get the best possible care, without the stress of high costs or rushed doctor visits.

1. What Is Direct Primary Care (DPC)?
Direct Primary Care (DPC) is a membership-based model where patients pay a flat monthly fee for unlimited access to their primary care provider. It is also known as concierge medicine.
Benefits of DPC Membership at PDM:
✔️ Unlimited office visits with no copays
✔️ Longer appointments & same-day scheduling
✔️ Discounted labs, imaging, and prescriptions
✔️ Personalized, concierge-style healthcare
📍 At PriorityDirectMED, we intentionally keep our patient panel small to ensure every patient gets personalized, high-quality care.
2. How Is DPC Different from Traditional Insurance-Based Healthcare?
Many traditional healthcare systems rely on insurance-driven billing, leading to shorter appointments, rushed care, and surprise costs.
Feature | Direct Primary Care (DPC) | Traditional Insurance-Based Care |
Monthly Fee | ✔️ Flat monthly rate, no surprise bills | ❌ Copays, deductibles, and hidden fees |
Visit Limits | ✔️ Unlimited office visits | ❌ Limited visits, restrictions apply |
Appointment Length | ✔️ 30-60 minutes | ❌ Often 10-15 minutes |
Insurance Required? | ❌ No – All patients welcome! | ✔️ Required for most services |
