Direct primary care (DPC), as the name implies, is a type of program that provides and covers care from a primary care physician (PCP). Typically, this means only PCP visits are covered but not other services or providers.
DPC is not health insurance, but it does provide primary health coverage within specific parameters for a set monthly fee. Some employers offer it as a supplement to health insurance coverage, while others offer it in lieu of health insurance. (Likewise, consumers can buy it directly for similar situations.)
