RT Journal Article SR Electronic T1 Direct Primary Care: Practice Distribution and Cost Across the Nation JF The Journal of the American Board of Family Medicine JO J Am Board Fam Med FD American Board of Family Medicine SP 793 OP 801 DO 10.3122/jabfm.2015.06.140337 VO 28 IS 6 A1 Philip M. Eskew A1 Kathleen Klink YR 2015 UL http://www.jabfm.org/content/28/6/793.abstract AB Direct primary care (DPC) is an emerging practice alternative that (1) eliminates traditional third-party fee-for-service billing and (2) charges patients a periodic fee for primary care services. We describe the DPC model by identifying DPC practices across the United States; distinguish it from other practice arrangements, such as the “concierge” practice; and describe the model's pricing using data compiled from existing DPC practices across the United States. Lower price points and a broad distribution of DPC practices were confirmed, but data about quality are lacking.
