What is Direct Primary Care?

At Open Arms Primary Care, we believe healthcare should be simple, personal, and transparent — not buried in paperwork or surprise bills.

That’s why we practice Direct Primary Care (DPC) — a model that puts the relationship between you and your doctor back at the center of care.

Your monthly membership fee gives you the ability to call, text, or email your doctor with questions, and you can usually get a same day or next business day appointment when you need care.

How It Works

Instead of paying copays or dealing with insurance billing, our patients join our practice through a low monthly membership. Your membership gives you unlimited access to your primary care team — whenever and however you need us.

With your membership, you’ll enjoy:

  • Unlimited visits — in person, by phone, text, or telehealth

  • Same-day or next- business day appointments

  • Direct access to your doctor — no call centers, no waiting weeks for an appointment

  • Deeply discounted labs, imaging, and medications — often at wholesale prices

  • Transparent, affordable pricing — no surprise bills, ever

Why No Insurance?

We don’t bill insurance — and that’s a good thing.
Skipping the middleman lets us:

  • Focus on you, not insurance codes

  • Spend more time with each patient

  • Keep our overhead low, passing the savings on to you

  • Avoid the red tape and delays that make healthcare frustrating for everyone

In short, you get better care, faster access, and honest pricing — all for a simple monthly fee. We still recommend that you have insurance if you can to cover big things like hospitalizations and ER visits.

Isn't it more affordable to use my insurance?

It depends. If you have copayments for office visits and prescriptions or a high deductible health plan, you may find that direct primary care offers you more affordable care.

Did you know you can use your Health Savings Account (HSA) to pay for membership starting in January 2026?

If you do not have insurance, a membership may cover many of your health care needs for far less than in a traditional clinic.
