What Direct Primary Care is

Primary care should feel connected, not rushed or fragmented.

Direct Primary Care gives you an ongoing relationship with your primary-care provider through a membership fee rather than a copay for every visit. That gives us more time to understand your history, respond when concerns come up, and stay ahead of problems instead of only reacting when you’re sick.

Your membership covers everyday, preventive, and ongoing primary care for you and your household. If you ever need more specialized care, we coordinate it, and anything outside the membership is explained and priced before it begins.

Where Direct Primary Care stops.

Results already in hand are always shared with you, and urgent findings are always addressed.

Handled outside the membership, and priced separately

  • Ongoing hormone therapy and medication titration
  • Medical weight-loss medication programs
  • Advanced or specialty testing, and multi-system care plans

Questions

Frequently asked questions

Not sure where to start?

Answer up to four quick questions and we’ll suggest a starting point.

Find My Care Path

Is Direct Primary Care health insurance?

No. Direct Primary Care is not health insurance and does not replace comprehensive insurance coverage. It includes only the primary-care services listed in the DPC agreement.

Should I keep health insurance?

Yes. We encourage patients to keep coverage for services outside the membership, including emergencies, hospitalization, specialists, imaging, and other outside services.

What does membership cost?

Every rate, household discount, and fee is on our pricing page. You can pay every 3 months for the lower price, or monthly.

Are labs and medications included?

Ordering your labs, drawing blood here, and reviewing your results are included. The laboratory’s charge for running tests is separate, as are medications, supplements, imaging, and other outside services, unless your agreement specifically lists them.

Can DPC manage hormone or weight concerns?

Your DPC provider can evaluate these concerns as part of your overall health. Active specialty medication titration, structured metabolic management, and advanced testing are handled through a separately priced Venture specialty program.

How quickly will messages be answered?

Messages are reviewed during business hours. Routine messages received during business hours get a reply the same business day; messages received after hours get a reply the next business day. We may ask you to book a visit when a concern can’t be handled safely by message.

Messages are reviewed during business hours. We may ask you to book a visit when a concern can’t be handled safely by message.

Messaging isn’t for emergencies. Call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room.

Can I get a same-day appointment?

When something new comes up, we offer same- or next-business-day visits when it’s clinically appropriate and our schedule allows, and many concerns can be handled by message. We can’t guarantee same-day availability.

When something new comes up, contact your care team and we’ll find the right next step, including a prompt visit when it’s clinically appropriate and our schedule allows. Many concerns can be handled by message. We can’t guarantee same-day availability.

Who can join?

Membership is for Virginia residents. Children ages 2–17 join with an enrolled adult in the same household. Adults enrolled in Medicare Part A or B aren’t eligible; if you’re approaching Medicare, ask us about timing.

Membership is available to Virginia residents who are not enrolled in Medicare Part A or B. We see adults, and children ages 2 and up who join with an adult member of the same household. If Medicare is coming up for you, ask us about timing.

Is there a commitment? How do I cancel?

Membership starts with a three-month minimum. After that you can cancel for any reason: let us know at least 30 days before your next billing date so we can hand off your care properly. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the period you’ve already paid for, and you keep full access until then. The current period isn’t refunded.

Membership renews automatically on the billing option you choose, and monthly billing has a three-month minimum. The full terms, including how to cancel, are in the Membership Agreement, which you review before you enroll.

Can I use telehealth when I travel?

Telehealth is available when clinically appropriate while you’re physically in Virginia. When you’re out of state, we’ll see you when you’re back; for urgent needs, use local care.

Do you give vaccines?

Vaccines aren’t given at the practice. We’ll tell you what’s due, point you to a pharmacy or the health department, and keep your records and school or camp forms up to date.

Can I pay with an HSA or FSA?

Whether membership fees are an eligible expense depends on your plan and your tax situation. Check with your plan administrator or a tax adviser before relying on it. We can’t give tax advice.

What if I need specialty care later?

We’ll coordinate it. Specialists outside Venture are billed by them, usually through your insurance. Venture’s own specialty programs are separate from the membership, and we explain the option and its price before anything begins.

I’m already a Venture patient. How do I add primary care?

Current hormone, metabolic, and optimization patients can request streamlined DPC enrollment. See the current-patient route.

What if it’s an emergency?

Call 911 or go to the nearest emergency room. For a mental-health crisis, call or text 988. Messaging isn’t monitored for emergencies. After urgent or emergency care, let us know so we can follow up.
