Direct Primary Care
Making Healthcare More Accessible for the Whole Family at Align Medical Center in Wellington, CO
At Align Medical Center in Wellington, Colorado, every patient is our priority. We are committed to delivering compassionate, high-quality, and relationship-centered care to individuals and families across Northern Colorado. Whether you are covered by traditional insurance or exploring more flexible healthcare options, our goal is to make healthcare simpler, more personal, and more accessible.
One of the ways we accomplish this is through Direct Primary Care (DPC)—a membership-based healthcare model designed to complement, not replace, insurance. DPC is especially beneficial for patients with high-deductible insurance plans or those without insurance who still want consistent, high-quality primary care without financial uncertainty.
What Is Direct Primary Care?
Direct Primary Care (DPC) is a modern approach to primary care in which patients pay a predictable monthly membership fee and a simple flat fee per visit for most in-office services.
This model typically includes:
- Preventive care and wellness visits
- Acute illness visits (same-day or next-day when available)
- Chronic disease management
- Routine check-ups and ongoing care coordination
At Align Medical Center in Wellington, CO, DPC allows our providers to focus on what matters most—your health—without the limitations of traditional insurance billing systems and administrative burdens.
Importantly, DPC does not replace insurance. Patients still maintain insurance coverage for services outside our clinic, such as specialist care, hospital visits, imaging, and procedures when needed.
How Direct Primary Care Makes Healthcare Easier
Accessible Care for the Whole Family
DPC at Align Medical Center is designed with families in mind. Children, adults, and seniors can all receive coordinated, consistent care under one membership-based model. Many families appreciate the simplicity of having direct access to a trusted primary care provider in Wellington, CO.
Transparent, Predictable Pricing
One of the biggest frustrations in healthcare is unexpected costs. With Direct Primary Care, patients know exactly what to expect:
- Monthly membership fee
- Flat visit fee when you come in
No hidden bills. No surprise charges. Just straightforward, transparent healthcare.
Comprehensive Primary Care Services
Your membership at Align Medical Center includes a wide range of services such as:
- Preventive screenings and wellness exams
- Sick visits and acute care
- Chronic condition management (such as diabetes, hypertension, and thyroid disorders)
- Health counseling and lifestyle support
- Ongoing care coordination
This allows patients to receive consistent, proactive care rather than reactive treatment.
Direct Communication With Your Provider
Patients enrolled in Direct Primary Care at Align Medical Center benefit from improved access and communication with their provider through secure messaging and portal access. This helps reduce delays in care and improves continuity between visits.
How DPC Works With Insurance
DPC works alongside your existing insurance, but it’s important to understand how it functions at Align Medical Center in Wellington, CO. When you enroll in our Direct Primary Care (DPC) membership, you are choosing to be a self-pay patient within our clinic for all in-office services, even if a service falls outside of the typical DPC membership scope.
This means we do not bill insurance for any visits or services provided at Align Medical Center under the DPC model. Instead, you receive care at transparent, discounted self-pay rates designed to be straightforward, predictable, and often more affordable than traditional insurance billing—especially for patients with high deductibles or limited coverage.
Your insurance can still be used outside of our clinic for services such as:
- Specialty care referrals
- Hospitalizations
- Emergency room visits
- Imaging and advanced procedures performed externally
This structure allows us to keep care simple, direct, and cost-transparent at Align Medical Center in Wellington, while still ensuring you maintain full insurance coverage for everything outside our practice.
