Family medicine DPC practices may care for adults, children, or both. Membership scope varies, so compare age eligibility, pediatric access, preventive services, routine procedures, after-hours communication, and costs outside the membership.
Questions to ask before enrolling
- Which ages can enroll?
- Are sick visits and preventive visits included?
- How are labs, medications, vaccines, imaging, and referrals priced?
DPC membership is not health insurance. Confirm clinical scope, credentials, prices, exclusions, and emergency-care instructions directly with each practice.
