What’s Included in a Direct Primary Care Membership?

When people first hear about Direct Primary Care (DPC), one of the most common questions is: “What exactly does my membership include?”

At Manatee Direct Primary Care, we believe in clarity, simplicity, and value. Here’s a look at what you get when you join.

Unlimited Office Visits

Your membership includes as many visits as you need—without co-pays, surprise charges, or insurance paperwork. Whether you’re managing a chronic condition or coming in for something minor, we’re here for you.

Same-Day or Next-Day Appointments

No more waiting weeks to be seen. We offer same-day or next-day appointments so you can get care when you need it, not when the calendar says it’s available.

Direct Communication with Your Provider

Text, call, or schedule an appointment with your provider directly. Ask quick questions, get medication refills, or follow up on treatment plans—all without jumping through hoops.

Comprehensive Primary Care Services

We treat a wide range of concerns including:

  • Acute illnesses (cold, flu, infections)
  • Chronic conditions (diabetes, hypertension, thyroid disorders)
  • Mental health support
  • Preventive care
  • Women’s health
  • Pediatric care

Annual Wellness Exams

Your membership includes your annual physical and preventive screenings to keep you on track with long-term health goals.

In-House Procedures

We offer select in-office procedures such as:

  • EKGs
  • Joint injections
  • Skin tag removals
  • Abscess drainage

(Need something more specialized? We can help coordinate outside referrals.)

Discounted Labs and Medications

Through your membership, you get access to deeply discounted pricing on labs, imaging, and many common medications—often far less than the cost through traditional insurance.

What’s Not Included

We want to be transparent about what your membership does not cover:

  • Specialist care outside of our clinic
  • Imaging services (MRI, X-ray, etc.) done off-site
  • Hospitalizations or emergency care
  • Non-primary care procedures or surgeries

But don’t worry—we help coordinate referrals, negotiate pricing, and guide you every step of the way.

The Bottom Line

Your Manatee DPC membership is more than access—it’s a relationship with your provider. It’s affordable, flexible care that meets your needs without the red tape. And for many patients, it’s the first time healthcare has ever felt this personal.
