Direct Primary Care in Florida

Direct primary care is a membership-based healthcare model in which patients pay the practice directly rather than billing insurance for routine primary care. At Holistic Direct Primary Care, memberships support a more personal relationship with your provider, longer consultations, annual physical exams, portal messaging, and in-home or virtual care options. Insurance is not accepted, and practice visits do not include copays or insurance claims.

No. Holistic Direct Primary Care operates on a self-pay basis and does not accept insurance, Medicare, or Medicaid. This approach allows the practice to avoid submitting insurance claims and charging copays. Patients may still choose to maintain separate insurance coverage for emergencies, hospital care, prescriptions, specialist services, or other healthcare needs not included in their direct primary care arrangement.

Adult membership pricing is $80 for ages 18–25, $130 for ages 26–55, and $155 for ages 56 and older. There are no enrollment or registration fees. A Snowbird Membership for adults 56 and older is $620 per season and includes five in-home visits. Non-member visits are $210. Small business membership rates are available by inquiry.

Membership includes comprehensive consultations and annual physical exams, along with access to ongoing primary care support and unlimited patient portal messaging. Your care may include preventive planning, chronic-condition management, health education, medication discussions, and coordination with other providers. Recommendations are individualized, so the specific services and follow-up plan are based on your health needs and goals.

Yes. Holistic Direct Primary Care provides in-home primary care visits for patients within approximately 25 miles of Bradenton, including areas of Manatee and Sarasota counties. Home visits can be particularly valuable for patients with mobility challenges, demanding schedules, or a preference for private, convenient care. The provider will determine whether an in-home, virtual, or outside service is most appropriate.

Yes. Telehealth visits offer a convenient way to discuss many routine concerns, follow up on care plans, review symptoms, and receive health guidance without travel. Virtual care is not suitable for every condition, especially emergencies or issues requiring a physical examination. When a virtual visit is not appropriate, your provider can recommend an in-home assessment, urgent care, emergency care, or specialist follow-up.

Holistic Direct Primary Care offers same-day or next-day appointment availability when scheduling allows. Availability can vary based on clinical urgency, existing appointments, travel time for home visits, and the type of care needed. Members can also use unlimited portal messaging for ongoing communication. Call the practice to discuss your concern and identify the most appropriate next step for care.

Call 911 or seek emergency care immediately for severe chest pain, trouble breathing, signs of stroke, uncontrolled bleeding, loss of consciousness, severe allergic reactions, or other life-threatening symptoms. Direct primary care is designed for personalized preventive and ongoing care, not emergency treatment. For urgent but non-life-threatening concerns, contact the practice promptly to discuss whether a home visit, telehealth visit, urgent care, or emergency evaluation is needed.
