Same/Next Day Appointments
Quick appointments mean less waiting and faster help when you're not feeling well, making you feel better sooner and happier with your healthcare. Plus, it helps doctors manage their time better and build better relationships with patients by giving them attention right away.
Direct Access Via Phone/Text
Direct access to your doctor via phone or text is important because it enables quick communication for addressing urgent concerns, obtaining timely medical advice, and receiving guidance on managing health issues without the need for an office visit. This accessibility fosters a stronger doctor-patient relationship and improves patient satisfaction by providing personalized, convenient care that is responsive to individual needs.
More Time With Your Doctor
Direct Primary Care (DPC) practices typically have smaller patient panels, allowing doctors to dedicate more time to each patient during appointments, fostering personalized care and thorough discussions. This results in enhanced doctor-patient relationships and improved healthcare outcomes due to increased attention and focus on individual patient needs.
FAQs
Learn more about Direct Primary Care and how it can benefit you and your family.
Direct Primary Care (DPC) is a healthcare model that focuses on providing comprehensive and personalized primary care services to patients. It operates on a membership-based system, where patients pay a monthly or annual fee to access a range of healthcare services directly from their primary care physician.
In a DPC practice, patients have unlimited access to their primary care physician, including in-person appointments, phone consultations, and even text messaging. This direct and immediate access allows for more personalized and timely care, as well as better coordination of healthcare services.
DPC offers a cost-effective alternative to traditional fee-for-service healthcare models. With a fixed monthly or annual fee, patients can access a wide range of primary care services without additional out-of-pocket costs. This can be particularly beneficial for individuals and families who require frequent or ongoing medical care.
DPC doctors have a much smaller panel of patients, and therefore are able to work you in much sooner with longer appointment spots if needed. You have unlimited visits without any extra fees, as well as access to text your doctor with a free app on your phone. In house tests will also be free.
DPC membership fees do not cover specialist care, hospital visits, or ER fees, and one still needs insurance for those. However, since all routine care is covered, many patients save by switching to a high deductible plan which costs less per month. By pairing a high deductible or health-sharing plan with a DPC membership that includes lower cost labs/imaging, many patients save money.
The US healthcare system has been too long-focused on treating disease AFTER it is causing you pain or significant health issues. At Valiant we believe in proactively managing your health. This can be as simple as longer discussions on nutrition and exercise, getting in faster when things feel ‘off’, and focusing on mental health and quality of life. Providing your wearables data may also be used to further optimize health with your physician.
