Affordable, Personalized Membership-Based Care at Tempe Primary Care
Looking for Affordable, Hassle-Free Healthcare?
Traditional insurance-based healthcare can be costly, complicated, and frustrating. At Tempe Primary Care, we offer a modern solution: Direct Primary Care (DPC) — a transparent, membership-based model that puts you in control of your health care. If you don't have insurance, your insurance plan is out of network, or you have a health share plan, Direct Primary Care can work great for you!
Direct Primary Care gives you affordable access to personalized care, longer visits, and valuable discounts on labs, prescriptions, and even services like Botox® injections.
What Is Direct Primary Care?
Direct Primary Care is a healthcare model where patients pay a flat monthly membership fee for unlimited access to comprehensive primary care services. There’s no insurance billing, no copays, and no surprise bills—just high-quality, accessible care when you need it.
What Does Your DPC Membership Include?
Your monthly membership gives you:
- Unlimited office visits with no extra charge
- Extended appointment times (30–60 minutes, not rushed 10-minute visits)
- Same-day or next-day scheduling
- Direct access to your provider via phone, text, or secure messaging
- Chronic disease management (diabetes, hypertension, thyroid issues, etc.)
- Preventive care and wellness exams

It’s like having a healthcare provider on call—without the traditional red tape.

Frequently Asked Questions
A: Direct Primary Care is a growing type of medical practice that eliminates third parties like insurance in order to provide affordable, convenient, high-quality medical care directly to patients. Click here to watch a short video describing direct primary care.
By contracting directly with patients, DPC providers can focus completely on your health. We provide high-quality, evidence-based medicine at an affordable monthly price. You won’t be shuffled around to an unfamiliar provider or non-provider provider. One low monthly fee includes virtually unlimited access to your provider, including telephone and video conferencing when medically appropriate.
A: In order to maximize our quality from a relationship-focused experience, all memberships start at 3-months minimum and after that move to a month-to-month. You can enroll in a 1-year membership to save more money. You could also choose to have a procedure done without enrolling in a membership (see our pricing page for a list of procedures or email/call us).
A: Check out our pricing for common procedures and memberships on our pricing page – https://tempeprimarycare.com/pricing-direct-primary-care/
In accordance with the “No Surprises Act” you have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical care will cost. If the pricing is unclear or you are asking for something beyond our current pricing list, please ask and we will give you an honest estimate.
A: Yes. We will work with you and your insurance if you can get less expensive medical equipment, prescriptions, labs, or imaging through insurance compared to our cash rates. You would also be responsible for any co-pays or deductibles set forth by your insurance company.
A: We have no lab draw fee. Labs can be done through insurance or through our office’s negotiated rate. All lab fees are determined by our associated labs: LabCorp or Sonora Quest. We have negotiated rates to save you money by having much more affordable cash rates. These negotiations prevent us from telling non-members the exact prices but check out the pricing scenarios to get an idea of our lab rates (we average 10% of usual costs)
A: We can save you money as a member by offering free point-of-care ultrasound in the office. We also can get you discounted rates through our contacts at a number of imaging centers.
A: Direct primary care is not insurance. We recommend you pair your membership with a high-deductible health insurance, health sharing plan, or another form of catastrophic coverage for the 10% of medical care which falls outside of primary care. We will try hard to keep you healthy and not need ER visits, urgent care, or as many specialty visits but sometimes emergencies happen and we cannot take the place of hospital care.
A: As family providers, we are trained in prenatal and postnatal care, but at this time we are not offering full-service prenatal care. However, we are eager to partner with your obstetrician or nurse midwife to round out your prenatal experience! After your delivery, we would be happy to help you through the “fourth trimester” with maternal and newborn care services. A lot happens in those first six weeks and we want to be available to you, your new baby, and your family as you make that transition.
A: Please call ahead of time to check our schedule. In order to maintain a quality experience for our current members, we make sure to allow room in the schedule to work our patients in for urgent needs. We will do our best to see you, but please call ahead of time to get on our schedule. Especially while the practice is still growing, we can likely work you in to our schedule same-day.
A: No, we are not concierge because we do not bill you per visit on top of your membership fee. Also, we don’t bill your insurance for our services. We believe we offer similar accessibility, quality of service, and personalized care as one might find with concierge care. Direct primary care is like more affordable concierge medicine for anyone.
A: With direct primary care membership, we do not charge per visit. However, if by provider discretion it is determined that we are unable to provide safe and quality care at an appropriate level for your unique needs. In that situation, we will work with you to transition your care to another organization more equipped to meet your needs.
A: A Family Nurse Practitioner (FNP) is independently licensed and can provide the same primary care services as a physician. However, it is not within the scope of practice of an FNP to perform surgeries.
A: Direct Primary Care (DPC) can be a great option for businesses looking to provide high-quality healthcare benefits to their employees. By partnering with a DPC provider, businesses can offer their employees comprehensive healthcare services with minimal out-of-pocket costs, reducing overall healthcare expenses and improving employee satisfaction and productivity.
