Today, November 1st, Marks the Inaugural National Direct Primary Care Day: A New Era of Healthcare Independence Begins

Posted on by

Today, November 1, the United States is celebrating the first-ever National Direct Primary Care (DPC) Day, a landmark moment for physicians and patients alike. This inaugural observance honors the growing movement of doctors reclaiming their autonomy from insurance-driven models so they may offer direct, transparent, and affordable primary care. It’s a bold step toward reshaping the future of American healthcare.

Why November 1? Because this day is about helping patients!

The launch of National DPC Day is strategically timed to coincide with the beginning of Open Enrollment for health insurance. As millions of Americans reconsider their health insurance options, we want to educate them about Direct Primary Care.

Benefits*:

  1. Low monthly membership fee (on average about $80 a month).
  2. No copays.
  3. No office visit fee.
  4. Most procedures in the office are included.
  5. Discounted labs (up to 90%).
  6. Incredible accessibility to your doctor (texting, emails, same or next day appts, telemedicine).
  7. Time with your doctor (office visits are 30-60 minutes long).

*All DPC offices are independently owned, and so these benefits may differ from office to office.

Patients can combine a catastrophic insurance plan on the exchange, or a health-sharing company, or Atlas.Direct with your Health Savings Account and a Direct Primary Care doctor, and magically fix most of their healthcare issues they have with our present system.

You can find a Direct Primary Care doctor near you by checking DPCfrontier.com, DPCalliance.org, or just Google it for an office near you.
