Why is direct primary care a monthly membership?

If it seems like everything is a subscription these days, that’s probably because it is! And with good reason: subscriptions are the best way for a business (of any kind) to offer high-quality service and support over a long period of time. If you long for the days when software cost hundreds of dollars and came in a box, DPC might not be for you.

The alternative would be itemized, "usage-based" pricing—the exact pricing scheme used by the traditional healthcare system. And that didn't work out so well for anyone. There are a hundred little perks of being a DPC patient—check out a comprehensive list of benefits here. Frankly, the benefits of being a DPC patient are too varied and rich to be broken down into a "menu of services". Paying your DPC doctor for every thing they do would be like paying Netflix for every episode of TV you watch. Sounds awful.
