Many clinicians today are leaving the insurance, fee-for -service model behind. They are opting in for the opportunity to truly engage and provide compassionate care for their patients on a meaningful level. This opportunity is known as "Direct Primary Care".

Utilizing a membership or subscription-based model (think Netflix), clinicians opt out of the insurance markets, and set transparent, up-front pricing. The key benefits to the patients are known as the "4 Cs of Primary Care".

1. Contact- Can you talk to your doctor?  Direct Primary Care Clinicians receive a 97% satisfaction score in contact.  (Hint Health, The DPC Patient Experience Report)
2. Comprehensiveness: Does your provider handle your health care needs?
3. Coordination: How well does the provider coordinate care with specialists and hospitals?
4. Continuity: How strong is the patient-provider relationship over time?

Direct Primary Care providers establish, build, and maintain their relationships with patients. These relationships, over time, build trust. 

So ask yourself the questions above. Do you have a relationship with your primary care provider that is built on trust?

We welcome you to explore the opportunity to begin that relationship today with our team at Rhode Island Direct Primary Care.
