How it Works

Primary Care, the Way It Should Be

Direct Primary Care is a different way to experience healthcare. Instead of billing insurance for routine primary care, you pay a simple monthly membership directly to Dr. Mag DPC.

In return, you get something increasingly difficult to find in traditional healthcare: time with your doctor, easier access to care, and a physician who truly knows you.

00 - Meet and Greet

Schedule a free meet and greet virtual visit with Dr. Mag to ensure direct primary care is a good fit for you. This is an optional step but is recommended. These appointments will be available closer to practice launch. 

01 — Become a Member

Join Dr. Mag DPC with a simple monthly membership.

There are no copays or separate office-visit fees for the primary-care services included in your membership. Because membership is intentionally limited, Dr. Mag is able to care for a much smaller group of patients.

02 — See Dr. Mag When You Need Him

Need a routine physical? Not feeling well? Have a new concern? Need to discuss a medication?

Simply reach out.

Members receive unlimited visits, longer appointments, same-day or next-day availability, and virtual visits when appropriate.

No more rushing through a 15-minute appointment. No more saving three concerns for your annual physical.

03 — Communicate Directly

Have a question after your visit? Need to discuss a medication or test result?

Members have a secure way to communicate directly with Dr. Mag rather than navigating layers of phone menus and messages.

Sometimes you need an office visit. Sometimes a virtual visit is enough. And sometimes you simply need to ask your doctor a question.

04 — Use Insurance When It Makes Sense

Dr. Mag DPC does not replace health insurance.

Your membership takes care of the primary care provided by Dr. Mag. You can continue to use your health insurance for things such as specialists, hospitalization, emergency care, surgery, medications, advanced imaging, and other services outside the practice.

For certain labs and imaging, members may also have access to preferred cash pricing—and we can help you understand when using cash or insurance may make more sense. See the service comparison below. 

05 — Your Care Stays Connected

When you need a specialist, testing, or hospital care, Dr. Mag remains your primary-care physician.

He can help coordinate referrals, review available results and specialist recommendations, follow your progress, and help make sense of what happens outside the practice.

If you are hospitalized, your care doesn’t simply start over when you come home. Dr. Mag can help coordinate your transition back to outpatient care and make sure there is a plan moving forward.

The Difference Is the Relationship.

Direct Primary Care isn’t about getting more healthcare.

It’s about making primary care work the way it should: accessible, convenient, personal, proactive, and built around a lasting relationship between you and your physician.

One membership. One physician who knows you. Primary care without the usual barriers.
