What Is Direct Primary Care?
Restoring harmony to the relationship between physician and patient.
Direct Primary Care is a membership-based model designed to support an ongoing collaboration between you and your physician — allowing care to be organized around time, continuity, and thoughtful decision-making.
A Simpler Structure for Medical Care
At Metronome Family Medicine, patients become members of the practice rather than paying for individual office visits through insurance.
This structure allows care to be guided by clinical judgment and long-term understanding of your health, rather than the constraints of billing systems or visit volume.
The result is a practice designed around continuity, accessibility, and a sustained physician–patient relationship.
How Insurance Fits In
Direct Primary Care is not insurance. Membership supports comprehensive medical care but does not replace coverage for hospital care, major procedures, or unexpected medical events.
Many patients maintain high-deductible insurance plans or other forms of catastrophic coverage for those situations.
