What is DPC (Direct Primary Care)

DPC is a growing movement of primary care doctors who want to improve the doctor-patient relationship by eliminating the administrative burden and restrictions that insurance companies impose. In the DPC model the doctor and patient are free to do what is best for the patient. No more worries about copays or deductibles or whether certain services are covered.

    FAQ

    Can I be a member if Dr Kinra still accepts my insurance?

    No, as Dr Kinra is in the process of transitioning out of traditional insurance she can only provide membership in the DPC if she has already dropped your insurance. Please check with the office.

    What if I have Medicare?,

    Dr Kinra still participates in Medicare so she can see you and there is no membership fee.

    Is DPC the same as Concierge Medicine?

    No, Concierge practices typically still bill insurance and charge an access fee. DPC comes without the higher price tag.

    What if I decide to cancel my membership?

    You can cancel the membership contract at anytime with 30 days notice.
