TUCSON · DIRECT PRIMARY CARE
How Direct
Primary
Care Works
Simple, clear, and
built around you.
The way most people experience
healthcare today was never really
designed with them in mind.
Confusing bills, visits that feel over before they begin, and care that can be difficult to navigate. It became the norm, but it was never the standard. Direct Primary Care is built differently. One monthly membership gives you a genuine, ongoing relationship with your physician — access, time, and continuity that most people stopped expecting from a doctor’s office.
01 / HOW IT WORKS
FIVE STEPS
~ 4 MIN READ
THE PROCESS
Five steps.
No surprises.
05
Here is how it actually works.
STEP ONE
01
JOINING
Join the practice.
Getting started is straightforward. You choose a membership plan based on your age or family needs, with pricing that is clearly outlined from the start. No long-term contracts, no complicated onboarding, no surprises.
Once you join, you complete your medical history online. The office will contact you to schedule your first visit and get you oriented as an active patient.
STEP TWO
THE VISIT
See a doctor who
has time for you.
This is usually where the difference becomes clear.
Appointments are not rushed. You are not watching the clock while trying to explain what is going on. You have space to ask questions, talk through concerns, and actually understand what is happening with your health. Over time, your physician builds a real picture of who you are — not just what brought you in that day.
It feels less like a transaction and more like a conversation, which is how care should work.
02
STEP THREE
03
BETWEEN VISITS
Stay connected
between visits.
Care does not stop when the appointment ends.
As a member, you can reach your physician by phone, through the secure patient portal, or via virtual appointment. Smaller concerns can often be handled without scheduling a full visit. Over time, that kind of access reduces unnecessary urgent care trips and helps you feel more supported day to day.
STEP FOUR
LOWER COSTS
Access additional
services at lower cost.
Not everything falls under the membership, but many additional services are more affordable and more transparent than what most patients are used to.
Labs, imaging, and most generic medications are available at significantly reduced rates — up to 97% off most generics.
You know what something costs before you commit to it.
04
STEP FIVE
05
WHEN YOU NEED MORE
Get support when
you need more.
If your care needs go beyond primary care, you are not left figuring things out on your own.
Your physician helps guide next steps — referring you to a specialist, coordinating imaging, or helping you navigate a more complex situation. That support adds a layer of clarity and continuity that most patients find is simply missing from the traditional system.
CARE, IN PRACTICE
“Less like a transaction.
More like a conversation.”
YOUR MEMBERSHIP
What your membership includes.
INCLUDED
Your membership covers most of your everyday healthcare needs — not just occasional visits:
+
Unlimited office visits
+
Extended appointment times
+
Direct physician access by phone, portal, and virtual appointment
+
Preventive care and annual wellness visits
+
Ongoing management of chronic conditions
+
Annual flu shot
+
Discounts on labs and imaging
+
Up to 97% off most generic medications
Consistent care that adapts to your life instead of interrupting it.
NOT INCLUDED
What falls outside the membership.
Some services fall outside of the membership, including:
—
Specialist care
—
Hospital services
—
Advanced imaging
—
Emergency treatment
For that reason, many patients carry a health insurance plan alongside their membership to cover larger, less predictable events. Membership is not health insurance and does not satisfy ACA minimum essential coverage requirements.
A GOOD FIT
Who this
works best for.
This approach works best for patients who want something more than a transaction. It is a strong fit if you:
01 / Known by name
Value having a physician who genuinely knows you.
03 / Continuity
Are managing an ongoing condition and want something more thoughtful and continuous.
02 / Fewer barriers
Want longer visits, direct access, and fewer barriers between you and your care.
04 / Built around life
Have a busy family or professional life and want healthcare that works around it.
Families and small business owners often find this model especially practical.
GETTING STARTED
You do not need to overthink the decision.
Schedule a discovery call, ask your questions, and get a feel for whether this is the right fit for you.
Simple, clear, and built around you.
