Direct primary care pricing
One simple monthly payment. One physician you actually know.
Directly is built on a simple idea: physicians set a clear upfront monthly price, and you choose the doctor who feels right for you. No confusing insurance math. No surprise co-pays. No wondering what a visit will cost after the fact.
How pricing works
Clear upfront memberships
Every physician on Directly sets their own monthly membership price. That means your cost depends on which physician you choose, and you see that clearly before you commit.
Monthly membership cost is visible before you sign up.
Memberships vary by physician because doctors set their own price.
You are paying for access, continuity, and proactive care.
Outside services such as imaging, specialist visits, or hospital care are separate when needed.
The difference
You are choosing a doctor, not getting dropped into a billing machine.
Why it matters
Transparent by design
Instead of paying thousands for coverage you barely use and then still paying co-pays, your membership is straightforward and physician-led from the start.
Why it matters
Lower cost labs and prescriptions are possible
Labs through providers like Labcorp or Quest may cost less without facility charges from major health systems, and some prescriptions may even be cheaper without insurance.
Why it matters
Built around a relationship
Direct primary care removes layers of insurance and health system bureaucracy so your doctor can focus on medicine and you can feel like a person again, not a number.
Traditional care vs. Directly
A different model of healthcare
Traditional insurance often means paying a lot before you ever see your doctor, then paying again when you do. Direct primary care replaces that maze with a simpler, human-centered model.
How pricing works
Traditional insurance-driven care
Monthly premiums, co-pays, deductibles, and bills that often arrive later.
Directly
The physician sets a clear monthly membership price upfront.
Choosing your doctor
Traditional insurance-driven care
Often limited by networks, referrals, and system rules.
Directly
You choose the physician you want based on fit, philosophy, and availability.
Labs and prescriptions
Traditional insurance-driven care
Pricing can be hard to predict once facility charges and insurance rules are involved.
Directly
Cash-pay labs and certain prescriptions may be simpler and sometimes less expensive.
The care experience
Traditional insurance-driven care
Short visits, fragmented records, and pressure to move fast.
Directly
More time, direct communication, and a continuing doctor-patient relationship.
Cost clarity
Why many patients find this model refreshing
When major health systems and insurers are not sitting in the middle of every routine care decision, pricing can become simpler and easier to understand.

Feel like a person again, not just a number
Direct primary care returns the focus of medicine to the doctor-patient relationship. Less corporate friction. More trust. More continuity. More care that actually feels personal.
Browse physicians and compare their membership pricing upfront.
