I wish you could hear the pause on the other end of the line.
“Wait… this is Dr. Voris? The actual doctor?”

Yes. It is.

I can’t tell you how many times someone is completely shocked that the doctor is the one answering the phone or returning a call. And every time, it reminds me just how far we drifted from what medicine is supposed to feel like.

For more than 10 years in the traditional system, I simply didn’t have the time. The schedule was full. The inbox was never ending. The pace was relentless. Phone calls were triaged, filtered, delegated - not because I didn’t care, but because there weren’t enough hours in the day.

Direct Primary Care changed that.

With a smaller patient panel, I actually have margin again. Margin to call someone back. Margin to check in. Margin to have a real conversation instead of a rushed exchange between exam rooms.

Do I delegate some things? Of course. Team-based care matters, but the difference is this: I can call. I do call. When it makes sense for me to be the one on the other end, I’m available.

That availability restores something important - not just for patients, but for me.

It allows me to be a doctor again.
It allows me to feel human again.
It allows me to be a better husband / father.

Honestly, it shouldn’t be surprising when a physician calls their patient.
But here we are…

If you’ve ever been shocked that your doctor answered the phone or returned your call… maybe it’s time we rethink your model.

We all want convenient healthcare, but “convenient” means different things depending on where you show up...

🏥 Traditional Doctor’s office:
You call, get put on hold, and the next available appointment is… next month.
You take time off work, sit in a waiting room, and still get a bill later.
We’ve all been there.

🚑 Urgent care:
This is the “I need help now” option, and it has its place.
You get in fast, get treated, and move on. Quick... Likely with more than you need.
But the next time you’re sick? You’re starting from scratch with someone new.

💻 TeleDoc:
Super helpful for quick stuff.
A weird rash. Psych. Random refill.
Fast and easy, but it only works when the problem is simple.

🩺 Direct Primary Care (DPC)
Now imagine all of that… but connected.
You have one doctor who knows you.
You can schedule a timely office visit, message directly, or hop on a virtual visit (if appropriate).

No copays. No surprise bills. Just a simple monthly membership.

👉 For individuals: fewer work days missed, thoughtful answers, real relationships.
👉 For employers: healthier teams, predictable costs, and less productivity lost to the healthcare maze.

At the end of the day, DPC isn’t about being trendy.
It’s about making healthcare feel honest, transparent, and human again - The way most of us wish it worked all along.

And yes… it really can be that simple.

DPC Practices are on the rise across our nation. We are glad the AAFP is promoting our efforts! Sometimes, DPC gets confused with concierge practices. These medical business models are often lumped together out of convenience, but their incentives and structures are fundamentally different.

Direct Primary Care (DPC):
• Monthly or annual membership
• NO insurance billing
• Lower administrative burden, smaller panels, more physician time per patient

Concierge Medicine:
• Annual retainer plus insurance billing
• Dual-revenue model (retainer + fee-for-service)

What the evidence does show:
• Higher patient satisfaction in both models, largely driven by access and responsiveness
• Higher physician satisfaction and lower burnout in DPC, despite similar work hours
• Lower overhead and potential cost savings in DPC compared to fee-for-service
• Higher total spending in concierge care without clear value justification
• Concierge clinics still have the same requirements from insurance companies to perform certain ways ("metrics") for care delivery.

Bottom line:
DPC and concierge models clearly improve experiences for patients and physicians. One will likely cost you more and "double dip" a retainer fee and insurance payments.

🎙 Dr. Voris wrapped a fantastic conversation on Friday with Dan on the Uninsured by Choice Podcast. He dove into the world of Direct Primary Care (DPC).

The conversation took some interesting turns, especially when they explored: "How DPC can dramatically cut healthcare costs and improve patient-doctor relationships."

So, while the picture doesn't look like he would be talking, he certainly had a great conversation!

Can't wait for you to hear the full episode, coming soon!

Think you're stuck with just Medicare or another insurance when it comes to primary care? — You're not

👉 Even if you have Medicare or other insurance coverage, Direct Primary Care (DPC) is still an option — and a powerful one.

At Core Health, we offer membership-based care, (yes, there’s a monthly cost) but what you get is a total game-changer:
- Unlimited visits
- Direct access to your physician 🙌
- No co-pays or surprise bills
- More time, more attention, less waiting
💡 And here are some great parts:

- While we don’t bill Medicare, your insurance can still cover labs, imaging, and referrals through third-party providers.
- Nothing changes with how your medications are prescribed or covered already.

So... You're not giving up your coverage — you're upgrading your care.
Healthcare doesn’t have to be either/or. — It can be AND.

Direct Primary Care (DPC) vs. Concierge: What’s the Difference? 🤔

Understanding the nuances matters. While both Direct Primary Care (DPC) and concierge medicine are a major upgrade from traditional healthcare, their impact on your wallet and your well-being is very different.

💳 Accessibility & Cost
• Concierge Medicine: High monthly retainer ($200–$1,000+) PLUS insurance is still billed. Typically designed for high-income earners.
• Direct Primary Care (DPC): One affordable monthly fee (usually $50–$150) that covers your primary care. No insurance billing. Simple. Transparent. Family-friendly.
• Traditional Care: Copays, deductibles, and surprise bills at every turn.

📅 Appointments & Access
• Concierge Medicine: Same-day visits, longer appointments, and 24/7 physician access.
• Direct Primary Care (DPC): The same high-level access — same or next-day visits for acute problems, unhurried appointments (30-45 min's), and direct call/text/email access to your doctor.
• Traditional Care: Long waits and rushed visits (10-15 min's) are the norm.

👥 Patient Load & Focus
• Concierge Medicine: A few hundred patients per physician for highly attentive care.
• Direct Primary Care (DPC): Also limits patient panels — so your doctor has time for prevention, chronic disease management, and proactive care.
• Traditional Care: Thousands of patients per physician, making personal care nearly impossible.

⭐ Top 5 Benefits of Direct Primary Care
✔️ Unmatched access to your doctor
✔️ Unhurried visits that allow real conversations and real teamwork plans
✔️ Proactive, preventive care focused on long-term health
✔️ Transparent pricing. You know exactly how much before you say yes.
✔️ Peace of mind knowing your doctor truly knows and cares for you

Exceptional care doesn’t have to be exclusive.
Direct Primary Care delivers concierge-level access—without the concierge price.

We love when health care *actually* feels like teamwork — and that’s exactly what Direct Primary Care is all about. 🙌

Here at Core Health, we don’t just treat symptoms… we build relationships, collaborate, and make sure every patient feels supported from the moment they walk in.

That’s why I’m so excited to introduce Ashley Arthur, MA — our incredible medical assistant who brings both skill *and* heart to everything she does. 💙

Ashley is the kind of teammate who makes patients feel at ease, keeps our clinical flow seamless, and shows up every day with compassion and purpose. Having her alongside means our patients get even more personalized, attentive care — the way healthcare should be.

I couldn’t be more grateful to have Ashley on the Core Health team. If you haven’t met her yet, you’re in for a treat. 🌟
