Common questions.
Here are quick answers to the questions patients most often ask before joining.
Direct Primary Care is a membership-based primary care model where patients pay a monthly fee directly to the practice for primary care services. By working outside traditional insurance billing for routine care, Family Medicine of Pooler can focus more directly on the doctor-patient relationship, access, and personalized care.
No. Although both models may use membership fees and smaller patient panels, concierge practices generally charge much higher membership fees and may still charge retail prices for medical services. Direct Primary Care uses lower membership fees with many primary care services included.
Direct Primary Care is not health insurance. It is designed to cover routine and ongoing primary care through a direct membership relationship with the practice. Patients may still choose to maintain insurance for major medical expenses, hospital care, emergencies, or services outside the DPC practice.
Family Medicine of Pooler offers age-based membership options for children, young adults, middle-aged adults, and seniors. Children ages 0–19 are offered a membership option when enrolled with a parent.
Family Medicine of Pooler uses straightforward age-based monthly membership pricing along with an enrollment fee. Current pricing should always be confirmed on the practice's Pricing page before enrollment.
Membership includes comprehensive primary care such as routine checkups, preventive care, chronic disease management, and same-day or next-day appointments when possible. The practice also includes many basic in-office labs and procedures as part of the DPC model.
Family Medicine of Pooler intentionally keeps a smaller patient panel so physicians can spend more time with each person. Fewer appointments per day allow for longer visits, better access, and more personalized care.
Yes. The practice emphasizes proactive and preventive care, not only treatment when you are sick. A smaller patient panel and longer visits allow care to be tailored to your needs and can help address health concerns before they become more complicated.
