Frequently Asked Questions
What is Direct Primary Care?
Direct Primary Care is a subscription-based healthcare model that allows patients to pay a monthly fee directly to their primary care provider for a range of services. This model offers easy access to visits, preventive care, and personalized health management, all without the hassle of insurance billing. Patients benefit from more time with their doctors and a focus on personalized care. This approach can lead to better health outcomes and increased satisfaction with the healthcare experience.
Do you take health insurance?
No. At AprilMD we have a subscription model which allows your physician to focus on you. This means faster appointments that are not rushed and much shorter follow up times. Patients can opt to pay monthly or yearly.
Can I use my HSA account to pay for my membership fees?
As of January 1st 2026, HSA funds can be used to pay DPC membership fees. Additionally those fees can be applied to your deductible. Please speak with your financial advisor and your plan's representative to ensure that you can utilize this resource.
Can I still use my health insurance for other healthcare expenses?
Yes. You can still use your health insurance for prescription drug costs, laboratory work, imaging, therapy, etc. We will work with you and your insurance company to keep your costs as low as possible.
What ages do you care for?
