Direct Primary Care — Primary Care Without the Insurance Middleman

Direct Primary Care — How the Model Works

Direct primary care removes insurance as the financial intermediary between patient and provider. Instead of billing insurance for each visit, which drives 15-minute appointments and restricted referrals, DPC operates on a direct-pay relationship. Patients have greater access to their provider, more time per appointment, and care decisions made on clinical merit rather than insurance criteria.

At Tactus Health, direct primary care provides ongoing health management for patients who want a primary care provider who knows them, has time for them, and is not constrained by what an insurance company will reimburse. Our providers manage chronic conditions, coordinates specialist care, order labs, adjust medications, and provides the continuity of care that produces better long-term health outcomes.
