Direct Primary Care (DPC) is a simple, patient-centered model where members pay a flat monthly fee, much like a gym membership, in exchange for primary care without copays, deductibles, or surprise bills.

Your doctor has a few hundred patients on their panel, instead of thousands like in a traditional practice, so you have access to same or next day appointments, unhurried visits, and comprehensive care tailored to your needs. There is more time to prioritize your health goals, coordinate with your specialists, and to provide excellent care.

Absolutely. If you're healthy, we take a proactive approach to keep you thriving, with regular check-ins, personalized wellness plans, and early intervention to help you stay at your best. If illness or injury strikes, you’ll have a doctor who is truly accessible & ready to guide you every step of the way, with prompt answers, clear direction, and unwavering support.

No, our practice does not accept health insurance, Medicare, or Medicaid.

Yes, having health insurance is important for referrals to specialists, specialty testing, surgery, emergency room visits, and hospital care. In the event of catastrophic illness or hospitalization, it is important to have health insurance that will cover your costs. Falmouth DPC membership is not health insurance.

Before becoming a member, we recommend checking with your insurer to make sure your insurance plan covers out-of-network referrals. HMO plans are incompatible with DPC as they require you to maintain an in-network primary care physician (PCP) as a condition of covering your referrals. We are not in-network with any insurance plans. PPO plans and Medicare offer greater flexibility and often pair beautifully with a DPC membership.

We accept patients who have Medicare; however, we do not bill Medicare, nor can the patient bill Medicare for primary care services or fees associated with our office. Medicare will still cover any labs, imaging, medications, referrals, and hospitalizations you may need. Some Medicare Advantage (Part C) HMO plans will not cover out-of-network referrals.

Yes. HSAs can be used to pay for DPC Membership as of January 1st, 2026. Please confirm eligibility with your HSA Administrator.
