1st off Direct Primary Care and Concierge Medicine is NOT the same. Concierge med Often accept money from insurance; DPC does not! Concierge Charge a higher monthly payment in addition to the insurance collection; DPC does not Concierge med Focus on “premium” services, such as vascular scans, “executive” lab panels, extended office visits, and even going along with patients to specialist visits. DPC typically focus on standard(basic) primary care services and NOT a VIP list of services typically not covered by insurance companies.
Sorry for the confusion. As we said in the video, DPC is sometimes referred to as concierge care. As you've pointed out although many use the terms interchangeably, they are not actually the same thing. This video is about Direct Primary Care. Thank you for your feedback!
You would need to discuss this directly with the physician you are in agreement with, but most likely not. Usually, direct primary care will only cover basic services and panels conducted by your primary care physician.
Fantastic video! Thank you for educating the public about the Cons of DPC. 5 minutes and 45 seconds of solid information to warn the public about Cons of DPC. You missed the entire section for the Pros of DPC mentioned in your title. I'm sure you will correct this slight oversight in the future. Good luck!
Thanks for the feedback! These chapters were actually auto generated by RUclips and we guess the AI considered the "What is DPC" chapter for the "pros". Thanks again for the comment!
I recently completed development of a talk for a group of relatively affluent senior citizens, almost all of whom have Medicare, on the subject of concierge medicine, its pros and cons. I was drawn to this video because I was puzzled that the title included "Concierge Medicine" in parentheses after "Direct Primary Care." Though I know the speaker understands that they are not the same, I don't think a reference to concierge medicine should have been part of the title in a video focused almost solely on DPC.
Concierge Medicine is about personal private physician for those who can afford it. DPC is a low monthly cost for the masses. Patients avoid Co-pays and hidden fees. Often basic laboratories and skills of the physician, such as a joint injection, are covered. Best of all, it bypasses the cost of an insurance broker.
@iHealthBrokers where do broker salaries come from then? The money comes from somewhere. Oh, from the insurance companies? Okay. Who pays the insurance companies? To say you don't charge when you are taking a salary for the job you're doing is kinda gaslighting tbh. Just because there's a middle man doesn't mean you "don't charge"
Hi Tee, this video actually says numerous times that DPC is NOT insurance...that's why we discuss the other insurance options that people may choose in addition to DPC if they so choose (like HDHP).
But at least you have a doc who ISN'T PUSHING big ins or pharm on people. My doctors thru " Traditional" insurance plans are trying to oush ALL KINDA of meds on me for their kick back. My doc of over 10 years did not take insurance but he was forced into retirement two years ago to the fear pushers.
@@RaptureWILLBeSoon That's very unfortunate to hear. Additionally, regardless of whether a doctor accepts insurance or not, I'm sure we'd all rather see a doctor who has our best interests at heart.

Do dpc facilities offer things like ultra sound for heart?

@Mr. Cannon you are very knowledgeable about the DPC model, by chance are you in the business? If so do you have more insight, looking to convert? TIA

Thanks for your feedback, David. We'll keep that in mind as we create new content!

Thanks for your feedback. This video details the pros and cons of DPC. Although some brokers do charge for their services, many (if not most) do not.

@@xinwan162 there are no brokers. Patients sign up direct. The "D" in DPC stands for "Direct."
Do you know if DPC Plans use Brokers to sell their plans or at least pay a referral fee?
Not that we know of. It's usually an arrangement between you and your physician. Thanks for your question!
DPC is not an insurance. This video lacks accurate info regarding DPC. Please try again.
