Is Direct Primary Care Right for You?

If you've been searching for a more personal, predictable approach to healthcare in the Burlington area, Direct Primary Care at Champlain Medical may be exactly what you're looking for. Our DPC program offers South Burlington residents a membership-based model that puts you in direct contact with your provider, covers a broad range of primary care services, and removes the frustration of navigating traditional insurance for everyday health needs. It's a straightforward way to get consistent, high-quality care without the usual barriers.

What Is Direct Primary Care?

Direct Primary Care is a membership model that operates outside the traditional insurance system. For a predictable monthly fee, patients at Champlain Medical gain access to a wide range of primary care services, including office visits, annual physicals, chronic disease management, and direct communication with their provider by phone, text, or email. There are no surprise bills for routine visits and no referral runarounds for basic care. The result is a healthcare relationship built on trust, accessibility, and continuity.

What Does a DPC Membership Cover?

A DPC membership at Champlain Medical is designed to cover the healthcare needs most people face throughout the year. That includes preventive screenings, management of ongoing conditions, same-day or next-day appointments, and the kind of unhurried visits where your provider actually has time to listen. Because our team also offers urgent care and occupational medicine under one roof, DPC members benefit from a connected care experience that's rare in a traditional practice setting.

A Smart Choice for Local Businesses and Their Teams

Direct Primary Care isn't just a fit for individuals. Several South Burlington-area employers have already partnered with Champlain Medical to bring DPC benefits to their workforce. Companies like ECI and Marshall Tire Group have found that offering employees direct access to a primary care provider reduces absenteeism, supports early intervention, and keeps their teams healthier year-round. Our occupational medicine services pair naturally with DPC for businesses that want comprehensive coverage, from pre-employment physicals and drug screening to ongoing employee wellness. If you're an employer exploring this option, our team is happy to walk you through how a DPC partnership works.
