Healthcare should feel personal, accessible, and built around the relationship between you and your doctor.
Direct Primary Care (DPC) is a different way of delivering healthcare. Instead of billing insurance for every visit, patients join our practice through a simple monthly DPC membership that provides direct access to their doctor.
At Duncan Health Direct in Jacksonville, this model allows us to spend more time with our patients, focus on prevention, and provide thoughtful care without the limitations of insurance-driven medicine.
How Direct Primary Care Works
In a traditional healthcare system, physicians often care for thousands of patients and must follow strict insurance requirements that limit time and availability.
Direct pay primary care removes many of those boumdaries.
Through a straightforward direct primary care membership, our patients work directly with us rather than navigating layers of insurance administration. This allows us to focus on what matters most: understanding your health and providing the care you need.
| Longer, unrushed appointments | Same-day or next-day visits when possible | Direct communication with doctor | Transparent, predictable costs | Consistent relationship with physician |
Integrative Direct Primary Care
At Duncan Health Direct, we believe healthcare should focus not only on treating illness, but also on helping patients stay well.
Our approach to integrative direct primary care looks at the full picture of your health – including lifestyle, stress, nutrition, and long-term wellness. This allows us to work together on strategies that support overall health.
| Preventative health planning | Lifestyle and nutrition guidance | Stress and wellness support | Personalized health strategies |
Because patients have consistent access to their doctor through their DPC membership, these conversations can happen over time rather than being rushed into a single visit.
What is Included in a DPC Membership?
Our DPC membership provides ongoing access to primary care without the typical limitations or traditional practices.
Services may include:
- Preventative and wellness visits
- Sick visits and urgent concerns
- Chronic condition management
- Virtual visits when appropriate
- Guidance on labs, medications, and specialist referrals
- Ongoing communication with our office when questions arise
Because direct primary care doctors typically care for fewer patients than traditional practices, we’re able to spend more time focusing on each individual and their long-term health.
