The average price for a DPC membership is about $65/month. In most states, the doctor can even dispense prescriptions at or near wholesale cost. The idea is that higher utilization of primary care results in lower hospitalizations and specialist visits, which are very expensive for all parties. This has actually been proven in studies comparing total health spend by large employers before and after adding DPC for their employees. So spend a bit more in primary care, get high touch service, and lower cost in the long run. Medicaid, btw, is our social safety net health insurance program. Most Americans have insurance though their employer which is usually a high deductible plan. Meaning, you have to spend thousands of dollars before insurance will start helping to cover the cost of healthcare for you.
