Direct Primary Care (DPC): A Better Way to Do Healthcare
For many people, navigating the healthcare system is frustrating — long waits for appointments, rushed visits, surprise bills, and limited access to your provider. Direct Primary Care (DPC) offers a smarter, more personalized alternative.
At Pashen Health in Safety Harbor, we specialize in Direct Primary Care, helping individuals, families, and small businesses experience healthcare the way it should be: affordable, accessible, and centered around you.
What Is Direct Primary Care?
Direct Primary Care (DPC) is a membership-based model where patients pay a flat monthly fee for unlimited access to their primary care provider. Instead of billing insurance, DPC removes the middleman and puts the focus back where it belongs — on the patient-provider relationship.
With DPC, you get:
- Same-day or next-day appointments
- Longer, unrushed visits
- Direct access to your provider via phone, text, or telehealth
- Transparent pricing with no surprise bills
Benefits of Direct Primary Care
1. Affordable Healthcare
DPC eliminates copays, deductibles, and unexpected bills. With one monthly fee, you know exactly what your care costs.
2. More Time With Your Provider
Unlike traditional offices where visits may last 7–10 minutes, DPC providers spend the time needed to truly understand your health.
3. Preventive & Functional Care
DPC emphasizes prevention and wellness, not just sick visits. At Pashen Health, we also incorporate functional medicine, helping address the root causes of health issues.
4. Convenience & Access
No more waiting weeks for an appointment. With DPC, you get quick scheduling and direct communication with your provider.
5. Peace of Mind
Knowing you have a provider who knows you, listens to you, and partners with you in your health makes all the difference.
Who Can Benefit from DPC?
DPC is ideal for:
- Individuals & families who want affordable, personalized healthcare
- Small business owners looking for a cost-effective way to provide employee healthcare
- Patients with chronic conditions who need ongoing support and quick access to care
- Anyone frustrated with long waits, poor communication, and rising healthcare costs
