New 'Direct Primary Care' Model Is Neither Insurance Nor Health Plan
CaliforniaHealthline Sept. 7, 2012
"A new model of health care delivery -- direct primary care -- could be deja vu for some Californians, a retreat to the past when insurance wasn't a part of the health care equation. Direct primary care emphasizes prevention and a reduction in the use of 'downstream services' -- treating symptoms rather than the problems themselves. The new approach involves monthly payments for primary care -- similar to the way insurance covers health care, but without the insurance. Instead of filing claims through an insurer, participants -- individuals and employers -- pay a monthly membership fee directly to their health care providers."
