It’s easy to understand the appeal of direct primary care, for doctors and patients. Doctors charge a monthly fee, generally from $50 to $150, to provide routine clinical care and consultation, sometimes including basic lab work and tests. Freed from having to devote time and money to managing insurance claims, doctors say they can accept fewer patients and spend more time with them. Patients, meanwhile, may get more personalized care. They also may save money on insurance if they can pair their primary care plan with a cheaper, high-deductible policy.
