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.
