Direct Primary Care

Open Arms Primary Care was made for:

• People without insurance

• LGBTQ+ adults seeking affirming care

What's direct primary care?

Direct Primary Care (DPC) means that we do not accept insurance or take money from any insurance company. Instead, patients pay a simple monthly membership fee that covers all of their care with us.

For that membership, you get:

• Direct access to your personal doctor

• Same-day or next-business-day appointments

• Longer visits and unhurried care

• Clear, transparent pricing — no copays, no billing surprises

Many people assume DPC must be expensive. In reality, our monthly membership is often less than a single urgent care visit. Even if you have health insurance, DPC may still save you money.

Because we don’t answer to insurance companies, our only responsibility is to you — our patient. That’s how healthcare should be.
