BENEFITS OF DIRECT PRIMARY CARE

Fowler Medical Group is unlike the traditional primary care model. FMG is a Direct Primary Care (DPC) practice and is based on a membership model. Patients pay a monthly membership fee. In exchange, the monthly fee covers in-person (or virtual) patient consultations, and often other laboratory and clinical services. FMG also offers flexible scheduling as well as after-hours text and/or video access to medical staff. According to the American Academy of Family Physicians, “DPC benefits patients by providing substantial savings and a greater degree of access to, and time with, physicians. DPC allows family physicians to care for the whole person while reducing the overhead and negative incentives associated with fee-for-service third-party-payer billing.” Instead of a hurried 10-15 minute appointment with a physician, patients typically enjoy an extended 45-60 minute visit, where the FMG medical staff can delve more deeply into the patients’ questions and concerns.
