"Direct Primary Care (DPC) is an innovative approach to healthcare that removes insurance from the primary care setting. Instead of hassling with insurance, Strada Healthcare patients get unlimited access to their primary care provider for flat monthly fee. That’s right, unlimited. You can visit the clinic, or securely text/call your provider as often as you need him or her. You never have to worry about a copay or deductible. You never have to google your symptoms again. A DPC membership fits best with a high deductible insurance plan to cover any catastrophic health needs."
