Osteopathic Center for Family Medicine

"Direct Primary Care (DPC) is a return to what many would call "old fashioned" medicine. It is a direct financial arrangement between patients and their physician...no insurance companies! By becoming a member, patients receive all the professional services offered by the physician for a monthly (or yearly) subscription fee. As an added bonus, patients receive wholesale prices on lab tests and medications. As one of the first practices in Maine to adopt the DPC model, we have helped many other practices throughout Maine, New England and the US convert to or adopt the DPC model. Additionally, we have had the privilege of serving as a Founding Member of the Maine Direct Care Network, the New England Direct Primary Care Alliance and the Direct Primary Care Alliance. Our goal is to form a partnership with patients and help them make informed decisions about their care. Through this partnership, we explore the risks and benefits of all treatment options so that patient feel knowledgeable and comfortable about their decisions."
