Members get direct access to their provider whenever needed, unhindered, with individualized care without hidden co-pays or surprise bills. Members can expect appointments same-day or within 24 hours. Additionally, urgent and acute visits can be done in-person, via HIPAA-compliant phone, or via HIPAA-compliant video chat. Primary care is all-inclusive to chronic disease management and reversing chronic conditions, acute cares, and general health and wellness.

Medicare does not cover DPC fees. Some DPC providers opt-out of Medicare to avoid regulatory requirements. Apex Health Direct Primary Care does not accept Medicare.

Members are still advised to carry health insurance to cover services outside the scope of primary care, such as emergency visits, hospitalizations, and specialty visits.

The focus is forming a partnership, empowerment, and support to make changes, with a goal of decreasing the use of medications.
