So you decide to jump into the direct primary care model with a dpc, and I'd love to hear from your own words, how would you best describe what direct primary care is?

And in the purest sense, it is the patient paying the provider that fee. So it's a membership model. And I say it's a lot like Amazon Prime. You get it and then you better use it if you're paying for it. We're here to help people. And whether that's spending time with visits helping someone navigate the system, it's a membership like any other membership, where you should get more out of it than just an in n out visit once a year.
