Care without the middleman.
Direct Primary Care (DPC) is a membership-based relationship with your physician. You pay a predictable fee for defined primary care services rather than billing insurance for each routine visit.
Time to listen
Appointments designed around clinical needs rather than maximizing daily visit volume.
Predictable fees
Know your membership cost in advance, with separate fees disclosed for services outside membership.
Continuity of care
Build an ongoing relationship with a physician who understands your history and priorities.
What Americans spend on coverage
Employer-sponsored insurance is expensive, even when your employer pays most of the premium. KFF's 2025 Employer Health Benefits Survey reported average total annual premiums of about $9,325 for single coverage and $26,993 for family coverage . These are employer-plus-worker totals—not what the typical employee personally pays. The average worker share was approximately $1,440 single / $6,850 family annually. The average single deductible among covered workers with a deductible was approximately $1,886 . Deductibles, copays, coinsurance and premiums vary widely by plan.
| Expense | Employer plan: illustrative family | DPC + separate insurance |
|---|---|---|
| Annual premium | $6,850 employee share (2025 national average) | Depends on the actual plan you select; frequently significantly lower |
| Primary care membership | Typically none | Example: $100/month per adult = $1,200/year per adult |
| Office visit charges | Copays or deductible/coinsurance may apply | Covered primary care services included as defined in your membership agreement |
| Hospital, ER, specialists | Subject to plan terms, often network-limited | Not covered by DPC; use separate insurance or pay directly, often with negotiated cash-rates |
| Labs, imaging, prescriptions | Subject to benefits and cost-sharing | Separately negotiated discounted cash pricing, directly benefiting you |
The $100/month DPC figure is a hypothetical illustration, NOT an Aurevia price; See our pricing page for most up-to-date packages. The premium averages describe employer coverage and should not be used as quotes for individual-market plans.
Better value is more than just a lower bill, it means your personal physician.
DPC often reduces routine office visit fees, simplifies access and offers transparent cash pricing for selected tests or medications. For many patients, pairing DPC with an appropriate lower-premium health plan will reduce overall spending.
Compare your total annual cost : insurance premiums + DPC fees + expected out-of-pocket expenses + worst-case financial exposure. The best choice depends on your household, health needs and eligibility.
Personal care, thoughtfully delivered.
