Telehealth may be included in a DPC membership, but availability, response time, technology, licensing geography, and clinical limitations differ. Confirm what can be handled virtually and when an in-person or emergency service is required.
Questions to ask before enrolling
- Are video, phone, and secure messaging included?
- What response times and hours are offered?
- In which states can the clinician provide care?
DPC membership is not health insurance. Confirm clinical scope, credentials, prices, exclusions, and emergency-care instructions directly with each practice.
