WHAT IS DIRECT PRIMARY CARE?
Direct Primary Care (DPC) by MedLou takes the insurance companies and escalated insurance costs out of the physician patient relationship. It works to help the physician stop clicking boxes, and instead have time to spend with patients and run a practice the old fashioned and AFFORDABLE way.
For less than the price of your monthly cell phone or cable bill, you can get high quality primary care that will help you live a happier, healthier life.
Direct Primary Care by MedLou allows our physicians to practice medicine in a more relaxed manner for the reasons they went to medical school, namely taking care of patients. Other practice models only allow for 10-15 minute appointments. MedLou’s DPC model allows for 30-60 minute appts or longer if needed. In addition, this model affords more time for your primary care doctor to talk with specialists. MedLou offers benefits to both the patient and the physician. In an era where physician burn out is real, MedLou offers its physicians work life balance which in the long run benefits everyone.
