Direct Primary Care Cost Savings
$149 a month. No copays. No surprise bills. Here is what that actually means for your wallet.
Most people are surprised by how much they spend on primary care when they add it up — the copays, the urgent care visits, the lab bills that arrive separately, the follow-ups that each carry their own fee. A VDPC membership replaces all of that with one number you already know.
What $149 a Month Replaces
What Does This Cost for Someone Like Me?
The honest answer is: it depends on where you are starting from. Here are three situations we see often at VDPC, and what the math tends to look like.
Self-employed or uninsured
Without insurance, a single urgent care visit typically runs $250 to $600 before labs. One sick visit, one follow-up, and a basic blood panel can easily exceed $700 in a year. A VDPC membership covers all of that for $149 a month — with no per-visit fees and steeply discounted lab pricing on top of it.
High-deductible plan holder
If your deductible is $3,000 or more, most primary care visits come entirely out of pocket until you hit it. A VDPC membership handles the majority of your primary care needs outside of your insurance entirely — which means your deductible stays intact for the things that actually require it, like a specialist or a hospital visit.
Managing a chronic condition
If you see your provider regularly for something like blood pressure, diabetes, or a thyroid condition, those visits add up fast under traditional billing. At VDPC, follow-ups, medication reviews, and ongoing check-ins are all included in your membership. The frequency of care your condition actually needs stops being a financial decision.
