DEFINITION: The DPC model was created to allow for a singular focus upon the Primary Care Physician-2-Patient relationship. To achieve this, DPC removes the hassles and overhead expenses created by insurance and replaces it with a fixed monthly membership fee. This simplified approach frees the physician from meaningless paperwork and allows them to only see 8-10 patients a day. This level of personalized engagement allows them to develop a meaningful and enduring relationship with each patient.

Dr. James Hawkes grew up in a large family. His father was a U.S. diplomat, which exposed him to different models of healthcare. In addition to exposure, his grandmother encouraged him to become a doctor. He followed her recommendation but to his surprise, the definition of a good doctor wasn’t about improving patients’ quality of life it was about hierarchies, documentation, administrative requirements, and quality measures.
***
Shortly after saying goodbye to the traditional healthcare model, he launched his own direct care practice. Fast forward to today, he is a 100% debt-free direct care physician. He shares his story of how it’s possible to achieve this goal.
