About this site

Direct Care Guide is an independent guide to direct primary care (DPC) and other private-pay care.

What we are not

• We are not a medical provider, and we do not give medical advice.
• We are not an insurance company. DPC is not insurance, and we do not tell anyone to drop coverage.
• We do not run a network of doctors, and we do not recommend any practice.

Where our facts come from

Our short guides use public sources such as the American Academy of Family Physicians, the IRS, and published studies. Each chat answer shows its source. Facts change, so please confirm with the practice, your plan, or a tax professional.
