Office visits are scheduled for 30-60 minutes each, allowing optimal communication and care at every visit.  Well and sick visits are provided, as well as basic laboratory tests that are run in the clinic.  Although direct primary care models do not utilize insurance for the majority of services, families still can use their insurance plan for extensive laboratory testing, hospitalization, urgent care visits, medications, or imaging. 

​

Direct primary care also includes unlimited texting, email, and telephone calls to allow for medical direction and care remotely.  Visits to the office are not always needed with such use of technology, which makes this model of care very convenient for families.  Due to such a personalized approach, the patient care base is much smaller than at traditional medical practices.
